Rishabh Pant is making big strides this season of IPL after making a comeback to competitive cricket after almost 14 months. Pant has been doing some electrifying work behind the stumps and did something similar on Wednesday night at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The Delhi Capitals skipper displayed his acrobatic skills to take a stunner behind the stumps and then followed it up with electrifying stumping to stun host Gujarat Titans. Pant is in contention for a place in the T20 World Cup squad and the show vs GT will only make his case stronger.
The Delhi bowlers ran riot with the ball on Wednesday as the hosts were seven down for just 66 on the scoreboard. Pant made some smart changes in the bowling to dismantle GT’s batting line-up.
In the fifth over of the innings when David Miller, who was making his comeback after injury, edged Ishant Sharma’s delivery behind the stumps where Pant displayed his agility and dived to his left to grab a stunning catch.

He also produced some quick work to dislodge Shahrukh Khan’s stumps behind the stumps. It was the ninth over and Tristian Stubbs missed his line a bit but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Shahrukh put his feet out of the line and Pant produced excellent stumping to send him back to the pavilion. Another Titans batter Abhinav Manohar became victim of his quick glovework behind the stumps.
