Rishabh Pant Shines in Test Comeback Against Bangladesh

Rishabh Pant made a remarkable return to Test cricket, scoring 109 runs off 128 balls against Bangladesh in Chennai, marking his sixth Test century and equaling MS Dhoni's record for the most centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper. This achievement comes after a life-threatening car accident in December 2022, from which he took 14 months to recover. Shubman Gill, who partnered with Pant for a crucial 167-run stand, expressed immense pride in witnessing Pant's hard-earned century following his injury. Pant's success in this Test follows his impressive performances in the IPL and T20 World Cup. The match concluded with India setting a daunting target of 515 runs for Bangladesh, who ended day three at 158-4. Pant's comeback not only highlights his resilience but also signifies his importance to the Indian team ahead of upcoming tours, including one to Australia.
