Rishabh Pant: Celebrating Birthday Milestones While Shattering Records in Cricket

 

Rishabh Pant stands as the sole wicketkeeper-batsman from Asia to achieve Test centuries in both Australia and England, shattering the previous notion that no Indian wicketkeeper could achieve this feat in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia).

In 2018, Rishabh Pant joined the elite ranks, becoming only the third Indian player to secure the coveted ICC Emerging Player Award, following in the footsteps of Irfan Pathan and Cheteshwar Pujara.

Pant etched his name in history by recording the fastest century by an Indian player in the shortest format during the 2017-18 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, accomplishing the remarkable feat in just 32 balls.

Breaking the record held by the legendary MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant emerged as the quickest Indian wicketkeeper to amass 50 dismissals in Test cricket during a series against West Indies in 2019.

During India's historic 2-1 series victory in Australia in 2021, the left-handed batsman aggregated an impressive 274 runs in four Test matches.

In the 2017 IPL, Pant showcased his explosive batting prowess by smashing a scintillating 97 off just 43 balls, playing a crucial role in Delhi Capitals achieving their highest successful run chase of 209 runs.

Pant currently reigns as the leading run-scorer for the Delhi franchise in the IPL, amassing a remarkable 2838 runs.

Making history as the fifth youngest IPL captain, Pant took over the leadership of Delhi Capitals two years ago, a testament to his maturity and cricketing acumen.

Additionally, Pant holds the distinction of being the sole Indian cricketer to achieve a century solely through boundaries and sixes, achieving this extraordinary feat with a spectacular 128-run innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
