In the first match of the India vs Bangladesh Test series, everyone's eyes were on Rishabh Pant. That is because Pant was taking the field for Test cricket for the first time after the accident in the year 2022. Although he has played IPL and international matches before this, but the matter is different in Tests. It was yet to be checked whether Pant can stand behind the wicket all day. Also, will he continue his batting in the same way as he was doing earlier. Pant turned out to be fit in every respect. Not only did he do excellent wicketkeeping, but he also managed to score a great century. With this, he has also overtaken Adam Gilchrist, one of Australia's legendary wicketkeepers.

Pant has been out many times before scoring 90 plus and century
First of all, let's talk about Rishabh Pant's Test career. Pant has batted in 58 innings of 34 Test matches for India so far. During this, 2419 runs have come from his bat. He has batted at an average of 44.79 and a strike rate of 74.11. During this, 11 half-centuries and 6 centuries have come from his bat. However, the number of his centuries could have been even more, if he had not been out so many times with a 90 plus score and before the century. Even after this, he has managed to score 90 plus the most number of times in so few innings in the list of wicketkeepers of the world.

Pant is one step ahead of Adam Gilchrist

As we have already told you that Rishabh Pant has played 58 Test innings so far. During this, he has scored more than 90 runs 12 times. At the same time, when Australia's Adam Gilchrist played the same number of innings in Test cricket, he scored 90 plus 11 times. If we talk about other keepers, South Africa's AB de Villiers scored 90 plus 9 times. However, he played the role of keeper for his team in Tests only in 39 innings. That is, here we are talking about the batsmen who do wicket-keeping. In this regard, Pant is number one.

Pant can also create many records in Tests against Bangladesh and New Zealand

This can be understood that Rishabh Pant could score 90 plus many times, but could not convert it into a century. What makes Pant special is that he does not play for a century, a century is a milestone, but he was never seen batting slowly for that. However, he is known and recognized for this style of his. Now Rishabh Pant is fully fit and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the second Test against Bangladesh and after that when the New Zealand team comes to India. However, after this test, the tension of Team India management, captain Rohit Sharma and BCCI will have reduced considerably.
