Rishabh Pant achieves INCREDIBLE milestone with fiery knock in Perth Test

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant played a decent knock of 37 from 78 deliveries to carry the Men in Blue over the 100-run mark in the first Border-Gavaskar series Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Pant’s innings featured 3 boundaries and a fantastic six to Australian skipper Pat Cummins.

With this innings, Pant became only the third Indian player to score over 2000 runs in the World Test Championship. The 27-year-old is only behind the star batter duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who stand on 2685 and 2432 runs respectively.

This is a remarkable achievement as unlike other players, Pant didn’t even feature for India for almost 2 years in any format of the game due to his horrific car accident back in 2022.

Pant was the player with the second-highest individual score in the Indian innings. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy was the top-scorer with 41 runs off 59 deliveries.

Players	Runs in WTC
Rohit Sharma	2685 runs
Virat Kohli	2432 runs
Rishabh Pant	2034 runs
Shubman Gill	1800 runs
Cheteshwar Pujara	1769 runs
