Rishabh Pant is always known for his explosive batting. He has won many matches for India on his own. The entire cricket world is aware of Pant's one-handed sixes. He also batted strongly in the first test against New Zealand. However, he missed the century by one run. He scored 99 runs on 105 balls in the match. It includes 9 deuces and 5 sixes. He was bowled by William O'Rourke.
If Rishabh Pant had completed his century, it would have been the 7th century of his Test career and then he would have become the wicketkeeper with the highest number of Test centuries for India. But this could not happen. As wicketkeepers, both Hal Pant and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have 6-6 centuries in their Test career. Both are jointly at number one. Wriddhiman Saha scored 3 centuries in the test.
Even walking was becoming difficult, but came here to bat
