Rishabh Pant set Headingley ablaze once again with a performance to remember, also becoming the first Indian batter to register centuries in both innings of a Test match in England. In the seconf session of Day 4 of the 1st Test against England, Pant completed his second century of the match in style, collecting a single off Shoaib Bashir in the 70th over of India's second innings. The scene was emotional and full of joy. Pant took off his helmet calmly, taking in the sea of adoration and big hug from his batting partner, along with applause in the stadium. His gesture, however, was made all the more special due to Sunil Gavaskar's reaction in the commentary box, as he could not resist asking Pant to do a celebratory somersault – a previous favorite move that Pant fans had adored. But Pant, who grinned cheekily, signaled in return that he would do so "next time." Sunny G badly wanted the somersault celebration from Pant ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ pic.twitter.com/O18e1ZP3rD — soo washed (@anubhav__tweets) June 23, 2025 Also Read | Watch: "Please Play All Five Tests" - Sanjana Ganesan to Jasprit Bumrah Pant Breaks Records With Twin Ton Pant completed his century in the second innings, after his spectacular 134-run innings in the first innings. This phenomenal feat makes him just the seventh Indian cricketer to make centuries in both innings of a Test match. He becomes a part of the elite list that contains Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar (three times), Rahul Dravid (twice), Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Rohit Sharma. What’s even more remarkable is that Pant is now the first Indian wicketkeeper to achieve this feat. He also became just the second designated wicketkeeper in Test history to score centuries in both innings of a match. The only other player to do this was Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower, who hit 142 and 199* against South Africa in 2001. With Pant's twin tons and KL Rahul's century, India placed themselves in a comfortable position in the game. Pant's aggressive and confident knock came to an end at the score of 118 as Bashir dismissed the wicket-keeper batter. Pant's approach once again proved why he is regarded as one of India's most precious assets in the longest of formats.
