Rishabh Pant took a big and risky decision by coming on the field as an opener against Delhi Capitals at Ekana Stadium. Pant, generally known as a middle-order batsman, aimed to play aggressively from the beginning. However, his experiment was not successful and he was unfortunately run out after scoring only seven runs in nine balls. On Mitchell Marsh's shot, the ball left Mukesh Kumar's hand and hit the stumps, at that time Pant was out of the crease.
