1st Test: Had Three Celebrations In Mind, Then Did The One Which I Know Well, Says Pant
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who hit his seventh Test century in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Headingley, said he initially considered three celebrations but ultimately chose a familiar one – the front handspring.
On Saturday, Pant hit an astonishing 134 and now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, going past the legendary MS Dhoni's tally of six centuries. It was also Pant’s third Test hundred in England – which is a mammoth feat no other visiting wicketkeeper has more than one Test century in the country.
“I had three celebrations in mind – of an OK sign on the eye (which footballer Dele Alli does), another was ‘let bat do the talking’. Then I thought, I will quietly do the one I know well. I have been doing it from my childhood (handspring).”
