Delhi: On the second day of the first Test match being played in Leeds, Rishabh Pant took another great record. India’s vice -captain Pant completed his 7th Test century on the second morning of the Hadingley Test against England.

He completed this century with the help of 10 fours and 4 sixes in 146 balls.

On the first day, Shubman Gill and Pant returned unbeaten and on the second day both of them troubled the English bowlers a lot. Gill reached close to 150 runs, while Pant again explained why he is one of the most special Test players in India at this time.

Dhoni’s record left behind

Pant has now become the wicketkeeper to score the most centuries in Tests for India.

He scored the seventh century while breaking MS Dhoni’s record. Dhoni had six centuries in the name of Wriddhiman Saha.

The highest Test century for India (as a wicketkeeper):

• Rishabh Pant – 7
• MS Dhoni – 6
• Wriddhiman Saha – 3

Unmatched Pant even on foreign land

Pant has also taken away the record of scoring the most runs as a wicketkeeper on the land (SENA countries – South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia).

He left behind Dhoni’s record of 1731 runs and has now reached the top of this list. The special thing is that Pant did this feat in less innings and with better average.

Most runs in SENA countries (as Test wicketkeeper):

Serial number	player name	Country	Run (as Test wicketkeeper)
1	Rishabh Pant	India	1732* Run
2	MS Dhoni	India	1731 runs
3	Adam gilchrist	Australia	1531 runs
4	Jeff Dujon	West Indies	1335 runs
5	John Wet	South Africa	1328 runs

In 2019, Pant scored an unbeaten 159 in Sydney, which is his highest score abroad.

His name is now four Test centuries abroad.

This innings of Rishabh Pant is not just the story of figures, but it is also an example of his confidence, technology and continuity.

The Indian team needs Pant in this form a lot and he proved from his game that he is the real match winner of Team India.
