Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant faced embarrassment when he forgot the name of Delhi Capitals’ hero, Vipraj Nigam, during a post-match presentation. Vipraj’s explosive innings of 39 off 15 balls turned the game in DC’s favor as they chased down a target of 209. Pant, acknowledging the impact of Vipraj’s partnership with Ashutosh Sharma, credited the DC batters but referred to Vipraj as “the other guy” due to his forgetfulness. Despite Pant’s slip-up, Vipraj’s performance highlighted his potential as a young cricketer, transitioning from a leg-spinner to a dynamic batsman. His crucial contributions alongside Ashutosh showcased his ability to change the course of the match. Pant’s oversight in naming Vipraj may have been a momentary lapse, but it did not diminish the significance of Vipraj’s stellar performance in guiding DC to victory.
