On Day 2 of the first Test at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, June 21, Rishabh Pant completed his seventh century in the longest format of the game.
Facing the delivery, Pant did what he does best, and danced down the track to smash the ball through the line and cleared mid-wicket to register a stunning one-handed six.
After that, he dropped his bat and went on to do a somersault celebration - the same celebration he pulled off after hitting a brilliant century for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025. Pant also gave a warm hug to his captain as the duo celebrated the milestone.
Looking at Pant play an excellent knock and hit a ton, the legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar, who had yelled 'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid' during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, loudly said, 'Superb, Superb, Superb' on-air.
