Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant notched another milestone, crossing the 3000-run mark in IPL during the match against LSG at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow.
The dynamic player achieved this feat in his 104th IPL appearance, boasting an average of 34.61. Furthermore, he is the fastest Indian batter to cross 3000 run mark in the cash-rich league.
Pant reached the coveted 3000-run milestone in IPL by smashing a four off Marcus Stoinis’ delivery on the last ball of the 12th over. This achievement places him as the 3rd youngest player to reach this mark, trailing only Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli.
