India’s young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is arguably one of the best power-hitters in modern-era cricket. There is no doubt over the damage Pant can do to the opposition’s bowling unit on his day irrespective of the team he is playing against. After stamping his authority with the willow in the purest format and shortest format of the game, the 23-year-old has been successful in weaving his magic in One Day Internationals too.

Surprising the audience with some outrageous shots is not new for Rishabh Pant and he did the exact same again in the first ball of 23rd over by spinner Adil Rashid. Rashid bowled a leg-break to the batsman but the bowler was in for a shock as Pant went deep and closed his bat early to smash a helicopter shot and push the ball towards the boundary line.
