2. Rishabh Pant’s 49 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2019
In 2019, DC qualified for the playoffs for the first time in seven years. In the Eliminator game, they clashed with Sunrisers in Visakhapatnam. Luck favoured DC skipper Shreyas Iyer as he won the toss and elected to field first. On the big day, SRH batters looked average as they could score only 162 in 20 overs.
Pursuing the target, DC also found themselves in trouble as they lost their half of the batters with 52 runs left to chase in just 32 deliveries. In the challenging situation, Pant displayed courage and played some big strokes to take his team close to the total.
The Southpaw went back to the pavilion after scoring 49 off 21. It was his majestic batting effort that helped the Capitals pull off the total comfortably in the end. The wicketkeeper batter also received the Player of the Match award for his plucky performance.
