India’s batting lineup dominated the Bangladeshi bowlers in the second innings, putting on a commanding display. Resuming from where they left off in yesterday’s final session, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant continued their stellar form. Both batsmen played brilliantly, each notching centuries to put India in a strong position. Pant’s century was especially significant, marking a key milestone in his career. Their partnership not only frustrated Bangladesh but also showcased India’s depth and resilience in the batting order.
Rishabh Pant’s Heroic Comeback Century:
After recovering from a life-threatening injury, Rishabh Pant made an inspiring return to Test cricket against Bangladesh. In the first innings, Pant showed glimpses of his brilliance but couldn’t capitalize on his start. However, the second innings was a different story altogether, where he showcased his resilience and talent by smashing a remarkable century.
Pant’s heroic knock of 109 off 128 balls, featuring 13 boundaries and 4 sixes, was a testament to his fighting spirit. With a strike rate of 85.16, he played a pivotal role in turning the tide for his team. It is his 6th Test century. His comeback is a true reflection of his determination, making his century not just an achievement on the field, but a symbol of his perseverance and courage in overcoming adversity. Here is the Video:
Rishabh Pant Made a Record with His Century:
Rishabh Pant has now equaled the record for most Test centuries by an Indian designated wicketkeeper, standing alongside MS Dhoni with 6 centuries each. What’s impressive is that Pant achieved this milestone in just 58 innings, whereas Dhoni took 144 innings to reach the same mark, highlighting Pant’s rapid rise in Test cricket.
Meanwhile, Wriddhiman Saha follows with 3 Test centuries in 54 innings, showcasing his own contributions to India’s wicketkeeping legacy. Pant’s quick progress puts him in elite company, and with plenty of cricket ahead of him, he looks poised to surpass these records and cement his place as one of India’s finest wicketkeeper-batsmen in Test history.
