Rishabh Pant powers himself to IPL with ton against Namibia
Fatullah, Feb 6: It was a day of double delight for young Rishabh
Pant as he guided the India colts to the semi-final of the ICC Under-19
World Cup here with a crushing 197-run win over Namibia besides fetching
Rs 1.9 crore IPL deal with the Delhi Daredevils.
Pant's fireworks were on display hours before was bought by Delhi
Daredevils for Rs 1.9 crore after a bidding war with the Mumbai Indians.
His opener and captain Ishan Kishan too had another reason to smile
although he was out cheaply in the game, after he too went under the
hammer in the auction back home with Gujarat Lions picking him for Rs 35
lakh.
Pant, who had smashed 78 off 24 balls in the last match against Nepal was unstoppable
today as well. The Delhi-based wicketkeeper batsman hammered 14 fours
and couple of sixes in his entertaining knock that laid the foundation
for a big total. Sarfaraz too continued with his rich vein of form with a
run-ball 76. It was his third 70 plus score in the four games India
have played in the tournament.
