It’s not every day you see a player sprinting barefoot in a Test match, but Pant, known for his quirky style and fearless attitude, made it look normal.

(@IMManu_18) June 21, 2025 Rishabh Pant produced a day to remember on Day 2 of the series-opening first Test between India and England at Headingley, keeping his doubters at bay in style. Ahead of the series, his form had been under the microscope, and Pant reacted the way he only knows by counter-attacking with brazen defiance. He reached his hundred off a breathtaking one-handed six, his seventh Test hundred in characteristic bold fashion. Fresh from an impressive IPL conclusion against RCB, Pant has translated that confidence to the red-ball game with such ease. His hundred in English conditions highlight his increasing maturity and consistency in Test cricket. Once again, at a challenging time, India looked to Pant and he responded.

This achievement further showcases Pant's growing influence and development as a match-winner in red-ball cricket. Pant's brilliance was ably complemented by Shubman Gill, who also raised a classy century. The two stitched together a crucial 200-run stand that totally turned the game India's way. While Gill was calm and precise, Pant responded with flamboyance and belligerence, thus making the partnership an apt mix of control and mayhem.
