IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant almost knocks out Dinesh Karthik with bat, KKR player's reaction win hearts - watch video

The incident took place in the first delivery of the 17th over bowled by Varun Chakravarthy.

Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals had a poor outing against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday afternoon. His team put up a below par 127/9 batting first, with the skipper himself adding 39 to it before getting run-out. 

The match witnessed two of game's leaders R Ashwin and Eoin Morgan taking shots at each other in both the innings. One more thing that didn't go unnoticed was Pant taking a wild swat to protect himself from getting dismissed with opposition wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik making a close shave.
