So far, the star batsman has scored 1736 runs in 54 IPL matches at an average of 36.17. Notably, during this time, he had a staggering strike rate of 162.7. Well, these numbers clearly reflect Pant’s prowess and the opponent bowlers must vary him.

However, the left-handed batsman will face a different challenge this time around the tournament will be played in UAE due to the COVID-19 crisis in India. The pitches over there are known to favour the spinners while the boundaries are also on the larger side. Nevertheless, Pant will be accompanied by the likes of skipper Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Shimron Hetmyer which makes DC a force to reckon with.
