On 27th May, in the evening light of the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Rishabh Pant displayed his aggressive batting by scoring a scintillating century from only 54 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The left-hander batsman was unstoppable, hitting 10 neat fours and 6 mighty sixes, absolutely destroying the RCB bowling unit.
But it was not just the runs that were remarkable the moment was sheer drama. Pant finished his hundred with a stunning stroke, stretching for a full ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and hitting it way, way over extra cover, even while losing his footing in the middle of the shot. His party was unforgettable — a front flip, gloves thrown away, and a vast grin illuminating the stadium, something which IPL enthusiasts will cherish for years to come.
This innings was not only a personal triumph for Pant. Purchased by for a staggering INR 27 crore in the 2025 mega auction, he had failed to make a mark earlier in the tournament. But in the final match, with captaincy on his shoulders, Pant displayed his true mettle and treated the fans with a virtuoso display of batting.
