ENG vs IND 1st Test: Record says Rishabh Pant is now a better wicketkeeper-batter than MS Dhoni in SENA countries

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 21, 2025, 10:34 IST Rishabh Pant etched his name in the history books on Day 1 of the IND vs ENG 1st Test at Headingley by surpassing MS Dhoni to become the most successful Indian wicketkeeper-batter in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) conditions. The Indian vice-captain remained unbeaten on 65* at stumps, guiding India to a commanding 359/3 alongside skipper Shubman Gill. Pant needed just 50 runs to go past Dhoni's tally of 1,731 runs in SENA nations and did so in his trademark attacking style. His knock, laced with six boundaries and two sixes, marked his fourth half-century in England and solidified his reputation as a top performer in overseas Tests. The southpaw also became only the fourth Indian wicketkeeper to cross 3,000 runs in Test cricket, joining the elite club that includes Farokh Engineer, Syed Kirmani, and Dhoni. Pant now also holds the record for the most runs by an Asian keeper-batter in SENA countries. Pant, who currently has six centuries in Test cricket — the same as Dhoni — will resume Day 2 with an eye on claiming the record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper. ENG vs IND 1st Test – Day 1 recap: India dominated England with a solid top-order performance. Jaiswal set the tone with a century, followed by a 91-run opening stand with KL Rahul, who fell for 42 just before Lunch. Debutant Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a duck, but Shubman Gill (127*) and Rishabh Pant (65*) added an unbeaten 130-run stand to take India to 359/3 at stumps.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: Rishabh Pant completes 3000 Test runs in 76 innings, joins elite club of wicketkeeper-batters

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 20, 2025, 22:48 IST India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant added yet another feather to his cap during the ongoing first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. Pant reached the landmark of 3000 Test runs during his gritty knock on Day 1, becoming only the fifth Indian wicketkeeper to achieve the feat. He got to the milestone in just 76 innings — second-fastest among all keepers after Australia's Adam Gilchrist, who took only 63 innings. Pant got to the landmark with a boundary off Chris Woakes in the 81st over. He reached his half-century shortly after in 93 balls, continuing his brilliant Test comeback. Here's the updated list of wicketkeepers with most Test runs: MS Dhoni – 4,876 runs in 90 Tests Mushfiqur Rahim – 3,515 runs in 55 Tests Kumar Sangakkara – 3,117 runs in 48 Tests (as WK) Sarfaraz Ahmed – 3,031 runs in 54 Tests Rishabh Pant – 3,001+ runs in 44 Tests* Pant had entered the match with 2,948 runs and needed just 52 to cross 3000 — a target he reached with ease. Current Match Update At the time of reaching his milestone, Pant was unbeaten on 53 off 93 balls, alongside skipper Shubman Gill, who was batting on 119*. India stood strong at 338/3 in 80.5 overs, riding on a commanding 117-run partnership between the two. The solid platform puts India in a commanding position after England chose to field first at the toss. With Pant now surpassing Sarfaraz and eyeing Sangakkara's mark, this Test series could prove to be a defining stretch in his red-ball career.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: Why are all players wearing black armbands today? Explained

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 20, 2025, 15:47 IST Cricket took a solemn pause on Friday as India and England observed a moment of silence before the start of the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, to honour the victims of the recent Ahmedabad air disaster. All players from both sides wore black armbands as a mark of respect. The tragic incident occurred on June 12 when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, resulting in the loss of 274 lives. The disaster claimed the lives of 181 Indian nationals and 53 British citizens, making the tribute especially meaningful for both teams. Ahead of the toss, captains Shubman Gill and Ben Stokes joined Ravi Shastri and match officials in the centre, where England won the toss and opted to bowl first. Gill confirmed that India would have chosen to bowl as well, acknowledging the early conditions but expecting the pitch to ease out later. He also announced debutant Sai Sudharsan at No. 3 and the return of Karun Nair to the Test XI. The tribute underlined the human connection between the two nations, reminding everyone that some moments transcend the sport.
