Rishabh Pant, playing his comeback Test, equalled MS Dhoni's record for the most Test centuries by an India wicketkeeper, during the India-Bangladesh Chennai Test.

Pant equals Dhoni

Pant, playing his first Test since he featured in the 2022 Mirpur Test between the same teams, after which he was out of the game for a lengthy period, reached his sixth Test century on the third day. He was eventually dismissed for 109 off 128 balls, putting together a 167-run stand with Shubman Gill.

Pant is now tied with Dhoni for the most Test centuries by an India wicketkeeper. Dhoni's six centuries came in 144 innings, while Pant has reached the same in 58. The next best on the list is Wriddhiman Saha, who has hit three centuries.
