Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant scored a brilliant century against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday. He left behind his poor form with a strong innings. The way Pant celebrated after the century is now a topic of discussion.
Pant became the fastest batsman to score a century for Lucknow.
Lucknow's team is out of the playoff race. This is their last league match. In this match, Rishabh Pant played a captaincy innings and took the team's score beyond 200. He remained unbeaten after scoring 118 runs in 61 balls with the help of 11 fours and eight sixes. Pant completed the second century of his IPL career in just 54 balls. Earlier in 2018, he played an unbeaten innings of 128 runs in 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Pant also became the fastest batsman to score a century for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
Pant returns to form.
With a century innings, Pant has returned to form. Earlier he was seen struggling on the wicket. He now has 269 runs in his name in 13 innings of 14 matches. After this tournament, he has to tour England. During this time the Indian team will play a five-match Test series. Pant has been made the vice-captain for this series.
Celebrated in a special way
After the century innings, Pant celebrated specially. He celebrated by somersaulting the field, the video of which is viral on social media. Lucknow bought him at a record price of Rs 27 crore. But his bat remained silent throughout the season, due to which he had to face a lot of criticism. Now Pant has given a befitting reply to the critics by scoring a brilliant century.
