Rishabh Pant's Delhi team suffered their first defeat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, failing to chase 273 against Odisha. Pant scored 24 off 28 balls, continuing his struggle for impact in the tournament. His performance, with 121 runs in 5 games, contrasts with consistent showings from potential rivals Dhruv Jurel and Ishan Kishan. This form raises questions about Pant's potential selection for the upcoming India vs. New Zealand ODI series.
