5 Records Which Are Held By Rishabh Pant But Not MS Dhoni

5. Century in England:

Scoring a century in overseas has always been a dream for Mahendra Singh Dhoni as far as Test format is concerned. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has scored a century right in his first overseas tour, which came against the tough England side.

Rishabh Pant, who was playing his 3rd Test match, smashed a brilliant hundred for India against England in the final Test of the series. His incredible knock was accompanied by KL Rahul, which helped Indians to seal the game by 118 runs. Rishabh Pant knocked 114 runs to his name in that innings.

4. Quickest to fifty Test dismissals:

Though Mahendra Singh Dhoni kept wickets to the greatest bowlers like Zaheer Khan, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, he took 15 Test matches to reach the landmark 50 dismissals in Test format of the game.

Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant, who is playing mostly in the batting-dominant pitches, managed to be part of 50 dismissals in just 11 Test matches. Though it is bowler’s great show, Pant made fewer mistakes compared to Dhoni at the start of his career.

3. Test Century in Australia:

Rishabh Pant had an incredible game time when he was overseas doing the red-ball duties. After slamming a brilliant century in England, he did it again for the team against tough Australian team that has the likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni had an incredible record against Australia in Indian conditions and also overseas when it comes to white-ball format but unfortunately couldn’t repeat the show in red-ball game, especially, in Australian conditions.

2. Most catches in test series:

“Rishab pant” the name itself reminds his fearless batting style irrespective of the format. Apart from batting, he has done a fabulous job behind the wickets and surpassed the records of former skipper. This is a huge achievement to him at his age which helps him to boost his confidence and aim for much more in the future.

He took 20 catches in a Test series against Australia which has been most by an Indian wicket-keeper. This is something that slipped out of Dhoni’s hands in his illustrious career.

1. Rishabh Pant’s 65 Is the highest individual score for wicket-keeper in T20I:

Even though Dhoni is well fond of his fierce batting especially in the T20 format, there is a unique record which he couldn’t hold on for few years in this much loving format.

Rishab holds the highest score of 65 in the International T20 format which has been most by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman. Well, there are only a few chances for MS Dhoni to overhaul that score, as no one is aware of whether he likes to continue or not.
