Rishabh Pant smashed 64 off just 44 balls for Delhi Daredevils vs Mumbai Indians to notch up his fifth half-century in IPL 2018. Pant's knock and a 30-ball 43 from Vijay Shankar helped the hosts post 174 for four in a must-win match for the Mumbai Indians. Courtesy the 64, Pant regained the 'Orange Cap' from SunRisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson. The left-hander also achieved a remarkable feat in the process. Pant ended his IPL 2018 campaign with 684 runs -- the most runs scored by a wicketkeeper in an IPL season.
Pant bettered Robin Uthappa's record of 660 runs set in 2014. But the Delhi left-hander could see his record being broken later in the day with Kings XI Punjab taking on Chennai Super Kings.
Punjab wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul currently has 652 runs and needs 33 more runs to overtake Pant.
