Vice-captain Rishabh Pant made a remarkable return to Test cricket with his eighth century, propelling India into a commanding lead against England in the first Test at Headingley, Leeds. Pant maintained the visiting team’s momentum on Day 2 following a great first day, highlighted by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century.

Pant walked in after Jaiswal was dismissed for 101 off 159 balls. The Haridwar native faced England on their home turf after missing the domestic series while recovering from injuries received in a car accident. He wasted no time in making an impact, charging down the pitch to his second delivery from Ben Stokes and lofting it over the bowler’s head for four, prompting laughs from England’s captain.

Rishabh Pant completed his half-century with style, scoring 3000 Test runs on Day 1.

The following day, the left-hander celebrated his century in trademark style, smashing a big six off Shoaib Bashir over cow corner and performing the usual somersault celebration. With this amazing century, he became the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman with the most hundreds in the format for the Baggy Blues. Pant and Gill scored 209 runs for the fourth wicket.

India finished Day 1 in dominance, with hundreds from Jaiswal and the skipper, his sixth in Tests. Gill was dismissed by Brydon Carse after scoring 147 runs in his innings. England’s Stokes stood out with two wickets on Day 1, but the rest of the bowling attack struggled to establish consistency on a ground that provided little assistance.

WHAT A KNOCK, WHAT A CELEBRATION! 💪💯
