9.40pm He was involved in two run outs, and then batted like a man possessed. Savage hitting from Rishabh Pant to produce an IPL classic on a tough pitch to keep Daredevils alive. We've witnessed a special knock, one that has literally knocked the stuffing out of a famed Sunrisers attack. Make no mistake, this will take some chasing. Sunrisers haven't produced a batting masterclass so far, and have relied on their bowlers to bail them out time and again. Tonight, they really have to rise to the occasion. Vishal Dikshit will join you shortly for the chase.

Our stats team is crunching stuff by the second:

Pant v Bhuvneshwar: 11 balls, 43 runs, four sixes and four fours
Pant v Rashid: 13 balls, 27 runs, one six and four fours

68.44% of runs by a batsmen - Second highest in the IPL ever behind Baz 158 in the first game of the IPL

59 runs off 18 balls in the last four overs from Pant's bat - highest any batsman has made in the last-four in the IPL

Harshal Patel with a side interview: His knock was just phenomenal. What he did tonight....I'm so happy I'm just not bowling to him. I knew my job, I'd done my job. It was important for him to stay at the crease. My run-out wasn't that important. At the 10-over mark, we thought 155 would be a good score. What we've got is defendable. As a fast bowler, you have to go as hard as you can in the 6-8 meter area and then mix it up."

VK: "Last Night Ishan Kishan and Now R Pant. It's really great to see these youngsters. Btw DD inning is also look like last night match's copy." -- Ha!

Adarsh: "Those cries from Pant are probably his frustration of not being picked in Indian team despite his performance in this IPL. Well played, man."

Dude: "What is Maxwell doing besides being a spectator? He needs to carry his own weight. It's the home stretch he needs to hit out or get out." -- He's been very sensible and can't be faulted here

Reckon Pant is better off taking a middle and off guard
