With the hundred, Pant set new Test records, including reaching on top of an ICC World Test Championship record.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">During India&rsquo;s second innings of the ongoing Chennai Test against Bangladesh, wicketkeeper-batter Pant came to bat when India were struggling at 67/3. While the left-handed batter scored crucial 39 off 52 balls in the first innings of the match, he scored a great Test century in the second innings.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">The ongoing Chennai Test is Pant&rsquo;s first Test after 637 days, as he last played a Test match in December 2022 at Mirpur. In India&rsquo;s second innings of the Chennai Test, Pant completed his sixth Test century in 124 balls and scored 109 off 128 balls before losing his wicket. It was his first Test century after 810 days (previous Test century on 4th July 2022 against England at Birmingham).&nbsp;</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="et">Test cricket mein 8⃣1⃣0⃣ dino ka intezaar hua khatam 🔥<br><br>Well played champ 💙 <a href="https://t.co/EW5Ywi4rWx">pic.twitter.com/EW5Ywi4rWx</a></p>&mdash; Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) <a href="https://twitter.com/DelhiCapitals/status/1837394351733068156?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2024</a></blockquote><p dir="ltr">Pant had a 167-run partnership for the fourth wicket with another centurion Shubman Gill before losing his wicket.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Rishabh Pant equalled most Test 100s record by an Indian wicketkeeper</strong></p><p dir="ltr">With his sixth Test century, Pant equalled the record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper-batter.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das and Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan are in the next places in this list with three centuries each.</p><p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Wicketkeepers with most Test centuries at the ICC World Test Championship</strong></span></p><div dir="ltr" align="left"><table><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p dir="ltr"><strong>Player (Team)</strong></p></td><td><p dir="ltr"><strong>Number of centuries</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Rishabh Pant (India)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Litton Das (Bangladesh)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Quinton de Kock (South Africa)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">2</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><strong>Pant recorded 3rd Test century in the second innings of a Test </strong></p><p dir="ltr">In the meantime, the latest Test century was also Pant&rsquo;s third Test hundred in India&rsquo;s second innings.

Former Zimbabwean wicketkeeper-batter Andy Flower is the record holder in this list with five centuries.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Wicketkeepers with most Test centuries in the second innings of the Test matches</strong></span></p><div dir="ltr" align="left"><table><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p dir="ltr"><strong>Player (Team)</strong></p></td><td><p dir="ltr"><strong>Number of centuries</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Andy Flower (Zimbabwe)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Rishabh Pant (India)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Dinesh Chandimal (Sri Lanka)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">AB de Villiers (South Africa)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Adam Gilchrist (Australia)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Matt Prior (England)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka)</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">3</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr"><strong>Pant is likely to stay in Delhi Capitals</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is likely to retain Rishabh Pant for the new season, which is not shocking anyway.&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>
