Isha Pant Breaks MS Dhoni Record: Team India’s tour of England is going to start from June 20. The Indian team has reached there for this. The team led by Shubman Gill is in high spirits.
All the players have also started practicing. This Indian team is full of young players. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from Tests, due to which the team is lacking in experience. Gill has been made the captain on this tour, while Rishabh Pant has been made the vice-captain. All cricket fans will also be keeping an eye on Pant. He has performed well in Test cricket on foreign soil.
If Rishabh Pant creates a stir with his bat on the soil of England, then a new history will be made. He will get a big record written in his name. Pant is just a few steps away from setting a new record in England. If he scores 222 runs in the 5 match Test series, then the big record of former captain MS Dhoni will be shattered. As soon as he does this, he will become the highest run-scorer on England soil in a Test match as a wicketkeeper/batsman.
Rishabh Pant will break the records of these players along with Dhoni
Currently, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s name comes in the list of wicketkeeper/batsman who has scored the most runs on England’s soil. He has scored the most runs as an Indian there. Dhoni has a total of 778 runs in 23 innings in England. After him, foreign cricketers Rod Marsh, South Africa’s John Waite, Australia’s Ian Healy, West Indies’ Jeff Dujon and India’s Farooq Engineer are in this list. Rishabh Pant has a golden opportunity to go ahead of all of them. He will create history as soon as he goes ahead of Dhoni.
How many runs has Rishabh Pant scored in England so far?
Rishabh Pant is at the seventh position in terms of scoring the most runs on England’s soil. He has scored 556 runs in 17 innings so far. Pant will have 10 innings in 5 Test matches to cross this figure. He is an aggressive style cricketer who has the ability to score fast runs. If he does this, Dhoni’s record will be left behind.
