Watch: Rishabh Pant tries his hand at bowling in Delhi Premier League opener

Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant was spotted bowling in the opening match of the Delhi Premier League between South Delhi Superstarz (SDS) and Purani Dilli 6 (PDL) on Saturday, August 17 at Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi. Captaining Purani Dilli 6, Pant came in to bowl the last over of the match with SDS requiring just one run to win.

The wrist-spinner ended up bowling a low full toss which was driven towards long on for a single as SDS won the match by seven wickets after successfully chasing the target of 198 in 19.1 overs. However, fans were happy to have witnessed the rare sight of Pant bowling.

Pant has bowled just two overs in his professional career in first-class cricket where he managed to pick one wicket in the two overs he bowled. Apart from that, he’s never bowled in international cricket or IPL. The southpaw scored 35 (32) with the bat in the first innings with the help of four fours and a six.
