Chennai<\/strong>: Team India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant created a new record amid his 6th Test ton on day 3 of the opening Test against Bangladesh at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.<\/p>\n The youngster equalled ex-captain MS Dhoni\u2019s tally of five Test centuries for India, but the former\u2019s all six tons in international red-ball cricket came on home soil.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old had made his return to international cricket during the T20 World Cup 2024 and had a fairly successful campaign, with India lifting the title and ending their ICC trophy drought. However, fans were well and truly waiting for the youngster\u2019s return to the red-ball format, given how he has been a match-winner for them over the years.<\/p>\n The southpaw had already responded with an enterprising 39 in the first innings in Chennai before playing a loose shot to get out. However, Pant made the most of the start he got in the second dig and got there. Notably, the youngster had got a reprieve from Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto when on 72.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Pant made his comeback to professional cricket during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), where he captained the Delhi Capitals. He then played a key role in India\u2019s T20 World Cup-winning squad. Pant returned to red-ball cricket through the Duleep Trophy before being selected for the Test series against Bangladesh.<\/p>\n Indian keepers with most centuries Tests<\/b><\/p>\n Rishabh Pant \u2013 6<\/p>\n MS Dhoni \u2013 6<\/p>\n Wriddhiman Saha \u2013 3<\/p>\n Adam Gilchrist (AUS) \u2013 17<\/p>\n Andy Flower (ZIM) \u2013 12<\/p>\n Les Ames (ENG) \u2013 8<\/p>\n AB De Villiers (SA) \u2013 7<\/p>\n MJ Prior (ENG) \u2013 7<\/p>\n Kumar Sangakkara (SL) \u2013 7<\/p>\n BJ Watling (ENG) \u2013 7<\/p>\n Quinton de Kock (SA) \u2013 6<\/p>\n MS Dhoni (IND) \u2013 6<\/p>\n Kamran Akmal (PAK) \u2013 6<\/p>\n Mushfiqur Rahim (BAN) \u2013 6<\/p>\n AJ Stewart (ENG) \u2013 6<\/p>\n Rishabh Pant (IND) \u2013 6<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] Chennai: Team India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant created a new record amid his 6th Test ton on day 3 of the opening Test against Bangladesh at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
