The heir apparent to legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rishabh Pant is an awesome talent. He can smoke massive sixes and also take stunning catches. Yes, he also has the gib of the gab. But on Friday, it was his acrobatics which won hearts.
During the ninth over of Kolkata’s innings, the youngster took a giant leap to complete a catch and send Robin Uthappa (28) back. Uthappa tried to help Kagiso Rabada's slower yorker on its way behind the wicket but ended up inside the flying Pant's gloves.
