Rishabh Pant hits a trademark reverse scoop off Marcus Stoinis, grabbing Sourav Ganguly’s attention from the dugout

Summary: Rishabh Pant, DC's captain, struck his famous reverse scoop off Marcus Stoinis during a DC vs. LSG IPL match.

DC skipper Rishabh Pant played a magnificent reverse scoop off LSG pacer Marcus Stoinis, amazing opponents and onlookers both. The delivery appeared complete and ready for a traditional shot, but the DC skipper's sheer boldness entered and brilliantly altered the plan of action. It made former India captain and current DC cricket director Sourav Ganguly smile.

Everyone is in a state of disbelief at the accuracy and timing, which demonstrate the player's mastery of the profession. This demonstration perfectly captures the elegance and thrill of the game with hands of pure skill and grace. It was an unbelievable moment that will live on in cricket fans' memories for a long time.

Coming in to bat at No. 4, Pant smashed 41 off 24 balls, including two sixes and four fours, to help the Delhi Capitals win the match against LSG. Of all the boundaries Pant scored on Friday, his six off Yash Thakur over mid-wicket and his twin scoops (one reverse) off Marcus Stoinis would have to be the most memorable.

This incredible hit came in the 12th over of DC's innings, when Stoinis delivered a full ball around off stump. Pant performed the reverse-scoop with confidence and precision, sending the ball rolling into the third-man boundary with style. Despite Pant's dismissal in the 16th over, DC had the match under control, with victory within sight as they chased their second win of the season.
 
In addition to Pant's efforts, Jake Fraser-McGurk amazed the fans with an outstanding fifty-run debut, helping DC successfully chase down Lucknow's 168-run mark.
