Rishabh Pant’s highest score in test cricket came against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2019. During the fourth test of the series, India declared their first innings at 622/7. Cheteshwar Pujara made 193 runs and Pant showcased his attacking instincts against a strong Australian bowling attack.

For Pant, his century on Saturday comes as special knock considering that he is returning to the Test format after a two-year absence. In fact, his last Test prior to this, was also against Bangladesh,

India are currently taking on Bangladesh in the first of the two Test match series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rishabh Pant is the wicketkeeper-batter selected in the India playing XI. This is thus Pant's first Test match appearance for Team India after 632 days.
