India’s entertainer, who can make a dull Test match exciting, Rishabh Pant has made a stylish return to red-ball cricket. The southpaw scored a century in his first match after 638 days away from the Test arena. With this sixth hundred, he equaled the legendary MS Dhoni’s tally of centuries. Fans are in awe of the wicketkeeper-batter and believe he is greater than the former captain, as he has achieved these centuries in far fewer matches.
Rishabh Pant > MS Dhoni in Test
Rishabh Pant is arguably the best wicketkeeping batter India has seen in Test cricket, and his batting records surpass those of MS Dhoni. The left-handed batter has notched six centuries in just 34 matches and 58 innings, while Dhoni, who holds the record for the most hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper, achieved his centuries in 90 matches and 144 innings.
Additionally, Pant has scored four of his hundreds outside of India, highlighting his exceptional talent and temperament. He is well on his way to becoming the Indian wicketkeeper with the most centuries.
