Pant was heavily criticised for his mediocre performance during India’s ODI series against Australia. Amid criticism, many former players came in to support the 21-year old like Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting.
Pant’s knock came in during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and powered his team, Delhi Capitals to have a victorious start against Mumbai Indians.
Earlier, the English player even predicted that Pant will bag the orange cap, a cap which is entitled to a player with most runs, in this edition of the IPL.
