Historic Performance by Rishabh Pant
In the first Test match between India and England taking place in Leeds, Rishabh Pant, the vice-captain of the Indian team, has made headlines with his outstanding batting performance. He scored centuries in both innings, marking a significant milestone in cricket history. Pant has become the first Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to achieve this feat in a Test match, making him a standout player in the format. He scored 134 runs in the first innings and completed his century in the second innings off just 120 balls.
India played its inaugural official Test match in 1932, and for the past 93 years, no wicketkeeper-batsman had managed to score centuries in both innings of a Test match. Pant has now etched his name in the record books as the only Indian wicketkeeper to accomplish this. Additionally, he is the first Indian batsman to score centuries in both innings of a Test match played in England.
It is noteworthy that Pant is the seventh Indian batsman to score centuries in both innings of a Test match. Sunil Gavaskar achieved this three times, while Rahul Dravid did it twice. Other players like Vijay Hazare, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane have each accomplished this feat once. Pant's remarkable performance has now placed him among these legendary players.
