Rishabh Pant Breaks Another MS Dhoni Record: Rishabh Pant broke Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record even after injury

New Delhi. There was suspense on the second day in the Lord’s Test for the play of star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant of the Indian cricket team. On the first day, while wicketkeeping, he was hurt in his finger after which he went out of the field and Dhruv Juril took the wicketkeeping in his place. There was a question in everyone’s mind, would Rishabh Pant come to bat and he gave the answer by breaking the record. In the first innings of the third Test against England, he returned unbeaten on 19 runs at the end of the second day’s play. During this time, he also broke a record of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Rishabh Pant has once again proved that he is one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen in India. On the second day of the Lord’s Test against England, he made a record of the most runs by Asian wicketkeeper in the same SENA Test series. Rishabh Pant left behind his own Guru Mahendra Singh Dhoni in this matter.
