IPL 2018 DD v/s MI: 'See you soon in blue'- Twitter fans hail Rishabh Pant for fantastic IPL 11 season

Rishabh Pant has been one of the stories of the 11th edition of Indian Premier League. The Delhi Daredevils youngster has been in great form in IPL 2018. 

Pant, who scored 128 not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad to notch up the highest score of IPL 2018- played another superb innings on Sunday against Mumbai Indians. 

Pant scored 64 off 44 balls to surpass Kane Willamson as IPL 2018 leading run scorer and claimed the Orange Cap for his last appearance this season. 

Delhi Daredevils have already been knocked out of the tournament but Pant continued with his show. 

He finished with 684 Runs in IPL 2018 with an average of 52.62 and strike rate of 173.60. The 20-year-old hit 37 sixes and 68 fours leading to 5 half-century and one century. 

Pant, who is not in the Indian squad to play Ireland and England T20s, also broke the record for most runs by a wicket keeper in an IPL season. He surpassed Robin Uthappa's 660 Runs. 

The fans on Twitter came together to applaud Pant. They also hoped that Pant will be soon playing at the senior level. 

Power Packed Pant. Special player. #DDvMI #IPL
