1st Test: Pant Is ‘by Far’ India’s Greatest Ever Batter-keeper In Tests, Says Manjrekar

By IANS News June 21, 2025 • 21:14 PM View: 642

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has declared that Rishabh Pant, who hit an entertaining 134 on day two of the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley, is the greatest wicketkeeper-batter India has ever seen in longer format.

On Saturday, Pant hit his seventh Test century off 146 and now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, going past the legendary MS Dhoni's tally of six centuries. It was also Pant’s third Test hundred in England – which is huge considering no other visiting wicketkeeper has more than one Test century in the country.
