Karnataka-based Niyaaz Ali, a skillful sketcher and a huge Rishabh Pant fan, used his mind-blowing sketching skills to portray his love for the Delhi Capitals captain.
Niyaaz painted a portrait of Pant just by using a bat.
Though Niyaaz hasn’t met Pant personally, he believes DC will win the title this season under the leadership of the India wicketkeeper-batsman.
“I have been a huge fan of Delhi Capitals for 10 years and I believe this season there is a 100 per cent chance for DC winning the IPL trophy. This season their batting and bowling line-ups are stronger than the past seasons and my captain Rishabh Pant is going to make my dream come true. He is my favourite player, he is not only a cricketer but also an entertainer. I like his one-hand shots, it’s too hilarious to watch and at the same time love watching his batting style and power-hitting,” Niyaaz told Star Sports.
“I have never met him in person, but I am patiently looking forward to that day when I get to meet my idol. Painting his image with a bat was the happiest moment and one of the biggest achievements of my life,” he added.
