Watch: Rishabh Pant’s Sporting Response to Hilarious Meme Takes Internet by Storm

Delhi Capitals’ captain Rishabh Pant endeared himself to fans by gracefully acknowledging a viral meme poking fun at his explosive innings against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on April 24. Pant’s sensational unbeaten knock of 88 runs off 43 balls played a pivotal role in his team’s thrilling 4-run victory over the Shubman Gill-led franchise.

Since returning from injury in IPL 2024, Pant’s resurgence in batting form has been a standout feature of the season. Following DC’s recent loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where Pant faced criticism for his slow innings of 44 runs off 35 balls, his scintillating performance against Gujarat Titans has further solidified his stature as a formidable batsman.

A viral video capturing a man mimicking Pant’s signature flick shot circulated widely, symbolizing the skipper’s response to silence his critics from the previous match. With this win, Delhi Capitals secured a double victory over Gujarat Titans, having previously defeated them at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 17 by 6 wickets. Pant’s ability to both perform on the field and embrace lighthearted moments off it has only enhanced his reputation as a beloved figure in the IPL fraternity.
