Pant also overtook MS Dhoni for the most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper
LEEDS - India’s dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant etched his name into the record books with twin centuries —134 and 118—in the first Test against England at Headingley Cricket Ground. He became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score hundreds in both innings of a Test match, and only the second in cricket history after Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower.
Pant’s 118 in the second innings came off 140 balls, laced with 15 boundaries and 3 sixes, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most impactful Test batters of this era. With these knocks, Pant also overtook MS Dhoni for the most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper, now boasting 8 centuries in 75 innings—compared to Dhoni’s 6 in 144 innings. He now joins an elite list of Indian cricketers who have scored centuries in both innings of a Test, which includes legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli.England rally after Pant heroics to set up thrilling finish to India openerIsrael reports waves of Iranian missiles, soon after Trump announced ceasefirePSX witnesses powerful rally as Trump announces Iran-Israel ceasefireLHC to announce verdict on Imran Khan's bail petitions in May 9 cases todayGroundbreaking Vera Rubin Observatory reveals first imagesWhat was decided in the National Security Committee meeting?
