Watch Rishabh Pant’s unsuccessful attempt at a helicopter shot against MI, resulting in his dismissal by Coetzee

Rishabh Pant made a poignant return to IPL 2024 following his unfortunate accident in 2022. While he initially struggled in the opening games, Pant showcased glimpses of his brilliance against CSK and KKR, raising hopes for a continued resurgence against MI.

However, Rishabh Pant’s innings at Wankhede Stadium took a disappointing turn as he departed for just 1 run, attempting an ill-fated helicopter shot. In the last delivery of the 16th over, Pant faced a full delivery around the leg stump from Coetzee. Despite his attempt at the unorthodox shot, Pant only managed to produce a top edge, sending the ball high towards point, where Hardik Pandya executed a commendable catch while running to his right.

Rishabh Pant’s dismissal proved significant for Mumbai Indians, yet Tristan Stubbs continued to resist, unleashing a stunning display of batting prowess against MI’s bowlers. Nevertheless, despite Stubbs’ valiant efforts, the task proved insurmountable for one individual, ultimately resulting in Mumbai Indians securing their first win of the season.
