XtraTime Web Desk: After the BCCI selectors didn’t pick young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant for the World Cup squad most of the people thought that he may face lack of concentration due to this but against Rajasthan Royals he proved everyone wrong and helped Delhi Capitals to beat the hosts by 6 wickets thanks to Rishabh Pant’s brilliant knock of 78 runs in just 36 deliveries. After the game Rishabh was seen in a jovial mood as he was there till the end.” I am feeling lovely. To make your team win in an important match is a good feeling,” said Pant at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Though Pant admitted that the selection thought of the World Cup was there in his mind.” I won’t lie, the selection thought was running in my mind. I focussed on my process, I trusted my prowess and it worked for me,” added Pant.
On being asked what was going through his mind during the chase, Pant replied,”I knew how wicket was behaving and I took advantage of that. The most important things for our team is that everyone needs their role and we try to keep it simple.”
