- 3 Times Pant has effected 5 dismissals or more in a Test inning: 6 in the first innings & 5 in the second vs Australia in Adelaide, 2018-19 and 5 vs England in Nottingham in 2018.
- 26 Tests taken by Rishabh Pant to race to 100 dismissals, an Indian record. Both Wriddhiman Saha and MS Dhoni had taken 36 Tests each.
There is an advertisement featuring India keeper-bat Rishabh Pant that shows him speaking about his reverence for former India skipper MS Dhoni and how he used to store his pictures without knowing that one day, he and Dhoni would appear in the same photograph. It’s quite a symbolic ad. Every aspiring young Indian keeper-batsman in the last decade wanted to be MS Dhoni. Pant too.
It proved to be a heavy cross to carry though. Pant felt it on his home ground at the Ferozeshah Kotla in New Delhi in an ODI vs Australia in 2019 where he fluffed chances and erred on DRS calls and heard the crowd chant “Dhoni, Dhoni”. It was a rude message about what the fans thought of his keeping skills.
