On Monday, June 23, Rishabh Pant slammed his second consecutive ton in the first Test of the five-match series against the England National Cricket Team at Headingley in Leeds.
Pant, who is the second-most senior batter in the new Indian Test team, led his team from the front by playing exceptional knocks in both innings against the Ben Stokes-led side.
Rishabh Pant continued his batting brilliance in the second innings, and in slightly tougher conditions, he showcased his very best and slammed yet another century.
On the fourth ball of the over, Shoaib Bashir bowled a length ball outside off-stump to Pant, who reached out and cut it away towards deep point for a single.
With his twin tons in Leeds, Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper to hit a hundred in each innings in a Test match and only the second wicketkeeper to hit twin hundreds in a Test match.
