IPL 2017: Cricketing World reacts to Rishab Pant's special innings

The world on Thursday night witnessed one of the best T20 performances, courtesy the bat of 19-year-old Rishab Pant, who slammed a 43-ball 97 to help the Delhi Daredevils chase down a stiff target of 209 with ease and continue their march for a chance to qualify for the Playoffs.

Expectedly, Social media was in full praise of the youngster. Here are some of the best reactions:
