Pant is currently plying his trade for Delhi Capitals (DC) in the ongoing IPL. The southpaw scored 38 runs in DC’s 18-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Sharjah on Saturday.
The Delhi franchise decided to celebrate Pant’s 23rd birthday by posting a video of him hitting 23 sixes from their practice sessions.
