Rishabh Pant celebrated his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) hundred for Lucknow Super Giants with a somersault on Tuesday against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Stadium. Coming into the game after a lacklustre season and just one fifty, Pant clobbered the opposition bowlers to race away to a 54-ball ton.
It was Pant’s second IPL hundred after his 128 not out off 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 while playing for Delhi Capitals. Notably, the 54-ball ton by the LSG captain is also the fastest hundred by a batter from the Lucknow-based franchise.
The three-figure mark for Pant came on the fifth ball of the 18th over by Bhuvneshwar Kumar when the southpaw went wide to reach the ball which sailed through covers to the boundary. Following the century, Pant celebrates his ton with a somersault, much to the cheers of the whole LSG dugout. He remained unbeaten at 118 runs from 61 balls which included 11 fours and eight sixes.
