RISHABH PANT
Rishabh Pant could play a key role for DC in IPL 2020 and may well decide their fortunes in the tournament. Pant in IPL is a fearless batsman who strikes more often than not and is a dangerous customer in the death overs of an innings.
The left-hander has a rare ability to hit one delivery to different parts of the ground and that’s what makes him unpredictable and as a result lethal.
In 2018, he scored 684 runs in 14 innings at a whopping strike rate of 173.60. He scored a century and five half-centuries in the season and finished second on the list of highest run-getters in the tournament. The next year, his performance dipped a bit but was still well above par.
Rishabh Pant scored 488 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 162.66. He scored only 3 half-centuries in the season and finished as the second-highest run-getter of the tournament for DC.
The 22-year-old will be extremely crucial for the Capitals this year as well as they rely a lot on him in the death overs. He might be ably supported by two left-handers Alex Carey and Shimron Hetmyer in the hitting department, but Pant will have to take DC home on a few occasions.
