Chennai, September 21 (HS). Rishabh Pant has equaled MS Dhoni's record for most centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test cricket. He achieved this feat by scoring his sixth century on the third day of the first Test against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Pant scored a century off 124 balls, which included 12 fours and four sixes. He achieved this remarkable feat on his return to Test cricket after almost two years, following a horrific car accident in December 2022.
Earlier this year, Pant returned to professional cricket during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), where he captained the Delhi Capitals. He then played a key role in India's T20 World Cup-winning team. Pant returned to red-ball cricket through the Duleep Trophy before being selected for the Test series against Bangladesh.
