Sachin Tendulkar has called Rishabh Pant's match-winning 97 against Gujarat Lions one of the best innings he has seen in the Indian Premier League history.
"One of the best Innings I have seen in the IPL & that includes all 10 seasons," tweeted Tendulkar a day after Pant and Sanju Samson (61 off 31) helped Delhi Daredevils chase down 208 at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
The duo shared a 143-run stand off 63 balls for the second wicket to script a famous win.
Other former cricketers and current ones playing in the IPL too joined Tendulkar in praising Pant.
