**Chennai:** India’s explosive wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is predicted to break records and become the wicketkeeper with the most centuries in Test cricket. This bold prediction came from former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal, who was impressed by Pant’s blistering 109-run knock in the first Test against Bangladesh.
“I can assure you he will have the most hundreds as a wicketkeeper,” Iqbal said during the post-tea show of the match.
Further adding to the hype surrounding Pant, former India cricketer Parthiv Patel predicted that the wicketkeeper-batter will go on to hit more than 20 centuries in Test cricket. “I can see him scoring more than 20 hundreds,” Patel said.
Pant’s century on his comeback innings in the Test format was a crucial part of India’s dominant performance in the match. He reached the milestone while India was already in a strong position, having secured a lead of over 400 runs.
Pant’s knock also saw him hit 13 fours and four sixes, highlighting his aggressive and entertaining batting style.
The match concluded with India winning by an innings and 130 runs, with Bangladesh struggling to chase down the massive target of 515 runs.
