Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is considered one of the most important players of Team India in Test cricket. He has once again shown it right. In the Leeds Test, Rishabh Pant has once again created history by playing amazing innings. Rishabh Pant scored a century in the first innings of this match and now scored a half -century in the second innings. This half -century was very special for him, because he managed to do a feat that no Indian in England could do before.
Rishabh Pant created history in England
Rishabh Pant once again created history with his batting in the Leeds Test. In the second innings of this Test, he made a unique record of scoring 50 or more runs in the fifth consecutive Test innings on England’s land. He has become the first Indian batsman to do so. Not only this, he is the only wicketkeeper batsman of Asia to score a century and half -century in the same Test match in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries. The special thing is that he has done this for the second time. He had earlier achieved this achievement in the Birmingham Test in 2022.
Pant’s recent performance in England is nothing short of a dream. In his last five Test innings, 50, 146, 57, 134 and now half -centuries (unbeaten, batting in Leeds) have been scored. These figures not only reflect their continuity, but also show how effective they are under foreign circumstances. In the first innings of the Leeds Test, Pant played a brilliant innings of 134 runs, in which he beat up English bowlers fiercely. In the second innings too, something similar was seen from his side.
Team India’s withdrawal
Rishabh Pant has played this innings on an important occasion. In this innings, when he landed to bat, Team India lost three wickets for 92 runs. In such a situation, the team needed a big innings and Pant managed to do so. He worked to handle the team and did a lot of defensive batting. However, later he also scored at a fast pace, for which he is known.
