During the second day of the fourth Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Sydney, India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant scored his second Test hundred, aiding India to score a dominating total in the first innings.
The fact that Pant has scored a Test hundred each in England and Australia within months from his Test debut speaks highly about his potential. The current Test series also seems to have come as a learning curve for the 21-year old cricketer.

From being criticized due to his reckless shot selection in the first couple of matches to being lauded after becoming the first Indian cricketer to score a Test century in Australia, perhaps Pant has grown immensely as a cricketer.
Pant came in to bat at No. 7 in the 103rd over of the Indian innings. An 89-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara for the sixth wicket saw Pant scoring runs at a brisk rate, something which didn’t let buckle down after the fall of Hanuma Vihari.
A mere nine deliveries after Pujara got out, Pant ran a single off Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon to complete his half-century. Pant remained unbeaten on 88 at Tea only to come out to achieve the milestone in the last session.
On the second delivery of the 150th over, Pant heaved a Marnus Labuschagne delivery through the deep mid-wicket region to complete his second Test century. The southpaw moved from 50 to 100 at a strike rate nearly touching 100.
Pant’s smashing knock saw him accumulating loads of praises on social media platform Twitter. Read some of the latest Twitter reactions on him below:
