1st Test: Pant Breaks 12-year-old Dhoni's Record With Century At Headingley
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant shattered a significant Indian Test record on Saturday as he surpassed M.S. Dhoni to become the wicketkeeper with the most Test centuries for India during the first Test against England at Headingley.
The landmark moment came when Pant brought up his seventh Test hundred, and fourth against England, with a sensational one-handed six over midwicket — a shot that encapsulated the audacity and brilliance of a player redefining the wicketkeeper-batter role in modern cricket.
Resuming Day 2 of the first Test on 65 not out, Pant displayed immense maturity and poise in the early hours of play. Batting alongside India captain Shubman Gill, who was unbeaten on 127, Pant absorbed the early pressure from England’s bowlers before unleashing his trademark attacking strokes.
