Yesterday, the boy from Delhi lighted up the IPL as he blasted 128 runs not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad and broke a plateful of records. He notched up the highest score by an Indian batsman in the T20s and also became the second youngest batsman for scoring a century. Appreciation for Pant’s magnificent innings came from all quarters of the nation and the Bollywood was not behind.

One of the famous names that came forward to appreciate the youngster’s efforts was the actor Suniel Shetty. The Bollywood actor took to Twitter with an appreciation tweet and asked the Indians selectors to take note of this special talent.
