Will Pant break the record of Rahul Dravid?
New Delhi. In the fourth day game against England, Rishabh Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to score a century in both innings of the Test match. After this, Sanjay Manjrekar praised the vice-captain. Manjrekar believes that by the end of the five -match series, Pant can leave Pant Rahul Dravid behind in the list of Indians who scored the most Test century on England soil.
Manjrekar said, “Rahul Dravid’s name is the most centuries by Indians in the Test in England. Pant can equal or leave Rahul Dravid or leave him behind. Pant has joined the list of batsmen who have hit five consecutive half -centuries in England, including Don Bradman, Hansi Crohnia, Shivnarayan Chandrapol and Derrill Mission. Australian star Steve Smith tops with seven half -centuries. ”
He said that Pant’s wicketkeeper makes his achievements even more special. “When you see all the achievements of Rishabh Pant, the first trend is to see him only as a batsman. He is also a wicketkeeper. The same thing makes it almost incredible.”
