Fans were in awe of the Delhi Capitals’ love for one of their superstars and praised the team for paying tribute to Pant, who posted an Instagram story supporting his team while watching the action on TV.
A few fans even blasted the Chennai Super Kings for doing nothing to help their superstar Suresh Raina, who had won the team numerous games in the IPL. Some on social media praised the Delhi Capitals for demonstrating to other franchises how to treat their legends who have performed for them for many years.
Even Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who have never won an IPL championship, honored their star players AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle by inducting them into their hall of fame.
However, CSK’s failure to assist Suresh Raina has enraged some Indian cricket fans.
Returning to the game in Lucknow, Delhi missed Pant as Sarfaraz Khan, who was standing behind the stumps in his place, struggled as a wicketkeeper and then struggled to handle the fiery pace of Mark Wood, who got him out with a sharp bouncer.
