Rishabh Pant celebrated his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) hundred for Lucknow Super Giants with a somersault on Tuesday against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Stadium. Coming into the game after a lacklustre season and just one fifty, Pant clobbered the opposition bowlers to race away to a 54-ball ton. 

It was Pant’s second IPL hundred after his 128 not out off 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 while playing for Delhi Capitals. Notably, the 54-ball ton by the LSG captain is also the fastest hundred by a batter from the Lucknow-based franchise.
