Is Rishabh Pant India’s Best Test Batsman Currently

There were a few alternative wicket-keeping options tried in the post-Dhoni era. Parthiv Patel, Dinesh Karthi, Naman Ojha, and Wriddhiman Saha. The others couldn’t grab their chances and Saha was often injured, paving the way for Pant to make his Test debut in England in 2018.


Then, it was history: 97 in the epic Sydney draw, and 89* in the historic Gabba win meant Rishabh Pant’s career saw a stunning resurge.
He continued to roll on: scores of 91 and 101 at home vs England; 100* vs South Africa in Cape Town, followed by 96 vs Sri Lanka in Mohali, and 146 vs England at Edgbaston


Yes. Since December 2020, no Indian batsman has scored more Test runs than Rishabh Pant’s tally of 1355 runs. The southpaw has scored these runs in 19 Tests at an average of 46 and strike rate of 76, smashing 3 centuries and 8 fifties in this period. Behind Pant is Cheteshwar Pujara, who has just crossed 1000 runs in this period recently at an average of 29
