Rishabh Pant Becomes Third Youngest to Reach 3000 IPL Runs

Rishabh Pant Joins Elite Club, Becomes Third Youngest to Reach 3000 IPL Runs

Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant has etched his name in Indian Premier League (IPL) history by becoming the third youngest player to reach the milestone of 3000 runs in the tournament. Pant's scintillating knock of 41 off 24 balls against Lucknow Super Giants not only guided his team to victory but also marked a significant personal achievement.

Pant achieved this remarkable feat on the last delivery of the 12th over, smashing Marcus Stoinis for a boundary. Displaying his trademark versatility, Pant showcased an array of shots, including his trademark scoops over third man and fine leg.

At 26 years and 191 days, Pant joins an elite club of young achievers, with only Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli ahead of him in reaching the 3000-run milestone. Impressively, Pant boasts the third-highest strike rate (148.4) among the top 25 batters to cross the 3000-run mark, trailing only AB De Villiers (151.68) and Chris Gayle (148.96).

Pant's journey to 3000 IPL runs has been a remarkable one. He made his IPL debut in 2016 for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and has since established himself as one of the most destructive batters in the tournament. Known for his aggressive style of play and fearless approach, Pant has consistently delivered match-winning performances for his team.

In addition to his 3000 runs, Pant has also scored 16 half-centuries and two centuries in the IPL. He has also been a key contributor to Delhi Capitals' success in recent seasons, leading the team to the final in 2020 and the playoffs in 2021.

Pant's achievement is a testament to his talent, hard work, and dedication. He has emerged as one of the most exciting young players in world cricket and is poised for even greater success in the years to come.
