Summary: During the GT vs. DC match on April 18, Adam Gilchrist gave an explanation of why Rishabh Pant's stunning dismissal of David Miller was flawless.

Rishabh Pant was named Player of the Match after the Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans in a low-scoring game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT were bowled out for 89, and the Delhi Capitals completed the chase in nine overs; no batter hit a fifty or scored a significant score, while Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with stats of 3/14.

In this instance, the panel of experts selected DC skipper Rishabh Pant as Player of the Match. Daren Ganga revealed at the post-match presentation event that Pant was chosen for the PoTM award for his excellent captaincy, score of 16 not out in the chase, and two catches and two stumpings behind the wicket.

Legendary wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist explained why Rishabh Pant's amazing catch of David Miller was brilliant during the GT vs. DC match on Wednesday, April 17. Pant was in excellent form behind the wickets, with two stumpings and two catches to his name.

He said, “A bowler with his right arm around the wicket bowls to a left-handed batter. So, the ball is arriving at an angle in your keeping stance. Everything is angled to the right. So it comes in and grabs the inside edge. So you automatically gravitate in that direction. All of your weight is on your right, and you have it sharply. After it nicked Miller's rear thigh, go to your left side, making sure your base is solid and firm.”

He further added, “Your technique needs to be correct. If you're too high, you'll find it difficult to lunge back the other way with any genuine power or force. So perfect. Good technique and good intent. Cool day for him."
