Matheesha Pathirana had the last laugh as he dismissed Rishabh Pant following his assault with the bat in the penultimate over of Delhi Capitals' innings in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday.

Pant smashed the speedster for 18 runs, including one six and two boundaries, before losing his wicket.

The dismissal came as Pathirana bowled a yorker-length delivery on off-side and Pant tried to get underneath the ball but hit it with a toe-end off the bat.

The Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad ran from long-off and took a solid catch to send back his compatriot.
