Hello Guys, We are back with another interesting discussion over the Fastest Indian Wicket Keeper To Score 1000 Runs in a Test. Rishab Pant has broken MS Dhoni 1000 runs record in test cricket. The wicketkeeper became the fastest Indian batsman to score 1,000 Test runs, surpassing former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni had taken 32 innings to complete 1,000 runs in the longest format, while Pant had achieved the feat in just 27 innings. Let’s check more about the Fastest Indian Wicket Keeper To Score 1000 Runs.
During the Sydney match, Pant became the youngest wicketkeeper to score more than fifty runs in the fourth innings of a Test match in Australia.
Rishabh ‘Nerves of Steel’ Pant will be forgiven for all the mistakes he has made with the wicket-keeping gloves during the series, like the 89 he made. It was poetic justice that he hit a four to give India a thrilling victory.
The last time a visiting team emerged victorious at the Brisbane Cricket Ground was in November 1988, when the powerful West Indian team led by Viv Richards defeated Allan Border’s side by 9 wickets. What makes this achievement even more commendable is how the Indians registered a historic win while fighting through several injuries and mental fatigue due to bio bubble restrictions.
Having already lost Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuman Vihari in the final Test, Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin also failed to be match-fit and this forced India to field a bowling attack led by two-Test-old Mohammed Siraj. But the lion-hearted pace bowler rose through the ashes like a phoenix to show that he belongs at the highest level.
Coming back to the final day’s action, with 69 runs needed to win in the final hour, it may be tough for any other team to ensure a draw first. But this is not the Indian team which is full of youngsters who believe in supporting themselves till the fat lady sings. With the flamboyant Rishabh Pant at the crease, Australia captain Tim Paine had no option but to keep the field open with men on the boundary. The wicketkeeper did take some chances, but luck was on his side and he performed poorly.
