Pant Sets New Records
With this achievement, Rishabh Pant has become the Indian wicketkeeper with the highest number of Test centuries, surpassing the legendary MS Dhoni. Pant's seventh Test century as a specialist wicketkeeper exceeds Dhoni's six centuries during his career, while Wriddhiman Saha has recorded three Test hundreds.
This milestone highlights Pant's growing impact in red-ball cricket. Known for his aggressive batting style, he is also setting new records as a wicketkeeper. At just 27 years old, Pant is establishing himself as one of the most valuable players in India's Test lineup.
