Pant struck 11 fours and eight sixes in his innings of 118*, but it wasn’t enough for LSG. This was Pant’s second IPL century, but also the second to come in a losing cause. A campaign which didn’t quite go to plan for LSG, ending with a match which showcased their strengths but also emphasised their weaknesses.

A couple of deliveries later, he ‘Mankaded’ Jitesh as the non-striker’s end, but his captain Pant withdrew the appeal soon after. A mixed bag on his return from suspension.
