Rishabh Pant: The Indian team is currently looking strong in the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh. Ashwin scored a brilliant century in the first innings and Rishabh Pant scored a brilliant century in the second innings.

Rishabh Pant has returned to Test cricket after almost 2 years. Everyone was doubtful about how Pant would perform now. Pant could not perform well in the first innings, but in the second innings, Pant made a brilliant comeback by batting explosively and scoring a century.

In the second innings of the match being played at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant scored 109 runs in 128 balls. Pant hit 13 fours and 4 sixes during his brilliant innings. Pant has scored this century in Test cricket after 634 days. This is Pant's sixth century in 58 Test innings. Earlier, former Indian team captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni also scored 6 centuries in Test cricket. Dhoni scored 6 centuries in 144 innings. Now Pant has equaled Dhoni in the list of Indian wicketkeepers who have scored the most centuries in Test cricket.

The Indian team is in a strong position in the second innings. On the third day, India has a lead of more than 500 runs. In such a situation, the road to victory will be very difficult for Bangladesh. In the last first innings, the Bangladesh team was all out for 149 runs.
