Rishabh Pant makes history
The pants love to bat despite the forms in England, and they have continued their golden look in the country in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
He started the tour on a historic note by hitting twin tons in Handingley in Leeds and has already crossed the 450 -run mark. Rishabh Pant has maintained his continuity in England, and it has helped him achieve a remarkable milestone.
He has become a wicketkeeper-batsman to score 1000 runs in England in testing history. Before reaching Pant Test cricket, veteran MS Dhoni kept a record for the most runs by one wicketkeeper-batsman in England.
Most of the tests are run by one wicketkeeper-batsman in England:
1004* – Rishabh Pant (IND)
778 – MS Dhoni (IND)
773 – Rod Marsh (AUS)
684 – John White (SA)
624 – Ian Heli (AUS)
Overall, Rishabh Pant is the first wicketkeeper-batsman to score 1000-plus Test runs in a distant country, and he also finishes second in that list with 879 runs in Australia. In addition, he holds a record for most sixes by a wicketkeeper-batsman in a test series.
Most sixes for a wicketkeeper-batsman in a test chain:
16* – Rishabh Pant, England’s India Tour 2025
12 – Dennis Lindsay, Australia Tour of South Africa 1966/67
12 – Adam Gilchrist, Australia Tour of New Zealand 2005
11 – Jamie Smith, England’s India Tour 2025
‘Incredible’ Rishabh Pant was done by pre-England captain
While staying in the middle, Rishabh Pant launched a premiere pacer Jofra Archer for a four with an abusive shot. He swept the archer for four behind the square on leg-side and then tried to quickly lap to England in the next delivery.
Playing the pants outrageous cricket, speaking on sky sports, former England captain Michael Attarton said:
“This is an incredible shot from the pants. He sat on a knee and as if it was a spinner as if he was a spinner.”

Meanwhile, veteran Australia National Cricket Team captain Ricky Ponting appreciated Rishabh Pants, saying that he would be an important person for India in 1 day. They expanded:
“I think this is also a lot. The wicket did not do much in the first session, but England fought back in the second session. The most impressive thing was tying one end. This allowed Stokes to bowl his seamors at the other end, and by tying that end, the scoring rate is not going away. The third session is not going to be a bigger for both teams,” said the AITT.
He said, “Pants are now an important person for India. I think he will go after Dawson, even if this ground is still there – it is how he plays his best cricket,” he said.
