1st Test: Rishabh Pant Becomes First Indian Wicketkeeper To Score Twin Centuries
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant etched his name in the record books yet again, becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper to score centuries in both innings of a Test match. The historic feat came during the fourth day of the first Test against England at Headingley, as Pant continued his dazzling run with the bat, bringing up his second hundred of the match in just 130 balls.
Pant, who had scored a fluent 134 in the first innings, followed it up with another masterclass under pressure, helping India stretch their second innings lead with a counter-attacking 118. With this, he joins an elite list of just 10 Indian cricketers—including Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli—to have registered centuries in both innings of a Test match.
More notably, he also became only the second wicketkeeper in the history of Test cricket to achieve this rare feat, after Zimbabwe's Andy Flower did so back in 2001.
