JAIPUR: Rishabh Pant said it "felt special" when Sourav Ganguly lifted him to have fun the teen's blistering 78 that urged Delhi Capitals to a six-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals and the pole position within the IPL.
Just as Pant hit the successful runs, completing it off with a six here on Monday evening, former India skipper entered the ground and lifted him up.
"After I finished off the match and coming out, everyone was showering so much love. It felt special when Sourav sir lifted me, it was a different experience," said Pant all through a post-match interaction with teammate Prithvi Shaw.
"We talk about finishing these big games for the team, and when we do it, feels really special," he added.
When asked how he felt about his innings, Pant responded, "It's a great feeling, especially the fact that I was with you (Shaw) in the middle, I knew we would finish it."
Pant then asked Shaw about his lucky moment towards Jofra Archer, when he missed a complete toss and the ball went on to hit the stumps and light-weight the bails, which didn't fall on the ground.
"This was a first time experience for me. I didn't realise it had happened. I thought it had nicked my bat. It was only when someone, probably you only told me that the bails had lighted up," printed Shaw.
Opener Shaw (42) and Pant added 84 runs for the 3rd wicket in quick time to assist Delhi Capitals go the road in a steep chase of 192.
