Rishabh Pant made his Test debut in Chennai. After 21 months of playing against Bangladesh in Mirpur in December 2022, Pant returned to white-clothes cricket with the Chennai Test. Everyone knows the reason why he didn't play in the middle was a car accident.
He was dismissed for 93 runs in the second innings of the second Test against Bangladesh at Mirpur. After a year and a half, he got back the century against Bangladesh. Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram called Pant superhuman after seeing such a performance after returning from injury.
Pant scored 109 runs in the second innings of Chennai Test. Which is his sixth century in Tests. After seeing the innings of 109 runs off 128 balls, Akram told Indian media outlet Sports Krira, "Look at Pant's performance, the way Pant has performed after such a disaster has shown, he is superhuman. As the accident happened, all of us in Pakistan were worried. I was worried about him, tweeted about him.'
Waseem added, 'Recovering from the terrible accident he went through shows how mentally strong the boy is. In my opinion, it is a story to be told from generation to generation to inspire people. Then he returned to the IPL and scored 446 runs at an average of 40, with a strike rate of 155. He is a wonder boy.
Not that Pant has been playing international cricket for too long. Pant, who stepped into international cricket with T20 cricket in 2017, was on and off for a few years. Was out for more than a year due to injury. In this short time, Pant has been able to make his own signature in batting, especially in Test cricket. But there was a lot of discussion about Pant in T20 in the beginning.
Pant's centuries in Tests have a more special aspect. The 26-year-old Pant has one century each in 'Army' countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). Two of the 6 centuries are at home only. While praising Pant, Akram also highlighted this aspect, 'The way Pant played Test cricket, the way he performed by scoring a century against Australia, the way he batted against England, the reverse sweep he played against James Anderson and even Pat Cummins in Tests, he is really special. '
India will tour Australia next November. Pant scored 274 runs in 5 innings in the last tour of Australia. It is to be seen how Pant will do in the 5-match Test series.
