Rishabh Pant Sets New Record for Most Test Centuries by Indian Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant Breaks MS Dhoni's Record
On June 21, Rishabh Pant etched his name in cricket history by surpassing Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record for the most centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test matches. Dhoni, who played 90 Tests for India from 2005 to 2014, managed to score six centuries. In contrast, Pant has now achieved seven centuries in his Test career.

Notably, all of his centuries were against England on their home turf. The 27-year-old reached his century on the 146th ball of his innings, hitting 10 fours and 4 sixes, marking his fourth century against England.
