Rishabh Pant Aims to Break Records in Upcoming Test Against England

Second Test Match Set to Begin

The second Test match between India and England is scheduled to take place at Edgbaston starting July 2. In this match, India's vice-captain Rishabh Pant has the opportunity to make history. He will be looking to surpass the records set by legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

Pant's Impressive Test Career

Rishabh Pant has played 44 Test matches, accumulating 77 innings and scoring 8 centuries so far. Notably, 5 of these centuries have come against England, showcasing his strong performance against them. If he manages to score another century in the Edgbaston Test, he will surpass both Tendulkar and Kohli in this regard.

Record-Breaking Potential

Currently, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar lead the list of Indian players with the most Test centuries against England, each having scored 7. Kohli has reached the 100-run mark against the English team 5 times. Pant also has 5 centuries against England, and if he scores one more, he will surpass Kohli and equal the record of former captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who has 6 centuries against England.

Pant's Performance in England

When it comes to the most centuries scored by Indians in England, Dravid tops the list with 6 centuries. Pant is currently tied with Sachin Tendulkar, having scored 4 centuries on English soil. If Pant adds another century in the ongoing series, he will move ahead of Tendulkar to claim the second spot among Indian players with the most centuries in England.

Historic Achievement in Leeds

It is worth noting that Rishabh Pant scored centuries in both innings during the match played in Leeds against England, making him the first Indian to achieve this feat in a single Test match.
