Entering the match, the pants ended a edge season with the bat – only 151 runs and a strike rate of 107.09 in 11 innings of 13.73. But under pressure, the LSG skipper performed the net square. Pant reached his hundred off just 54 balls in the 18th over (17.5), marking his second century in the IPL and his first century in seven years. His last ton was back in 2018 when he scored 128 not out of 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla. In particular, it is the fastest by an LSG batsman in 54-people now in IPL history. His time knock came into a winning encounter for RCB, which is insisting on finishing the top-two. The pants innings formed the foundation stone of a total of 227-3 clan posted by LSG after being asked to bat first. He shared a cruel 152 -run stand with Mitchell Marsh, scoring 67 off 37 balls, putting RCB bowlers in a sword. With this clan on board, LSG has given a serious challenge to RCB. The bets for Bengaluru are high, a win qualifier 1 makes a top-two finish and a direct struggle with Punjab Kings (PBK), giving them two cracks in making an IPL final. The return of pants on the form could not come at a longer dramatic time.
