Watch: Rishabh Pant's one handed falling pull shot is something Rohit Sharma can't do
The match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals was one of the most thrilling match of this season. It was a high scoring spectacle as both the teams scored 190 plus runs. It was raining sixes for Rishabh Pant as he scored an unbeaten 78 off just 36 balls. Rishabh Pant attempted a one handed falling pull shot which I am sure Rohit Sharma can never do even though he plays some of the best pull shots.
The incident took place in the 15th over when Jaydev Unadkat bowled a short length delivery which Rishabh Pant sat down and pulled it towards deep fine leg. While attempting the shot Pant also fell down to his knees but the ball straight away went for a boundary.

After winning the toss Delhi Capitals opted to bowl first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan.
Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson opened the innings for Rajasthan. Samson became victim of an unfortunate run-out without facing a single ball.

Shikhar Dhawan scored an amazing half-century as he hit 27-ball 54 before being dismissed by Shreyas Gopal. Prithvi Shaw was a bit slow but was looking good as he scored 39-ball 42 before his was picked up by Shreyas Gopal.
