Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant scripted history on Day🍸 3 of the ongoingꦗ third Test against South Africa at the Newlands in Cape Town. Pant stood like a rock against a top-quality bowling atta✱ck and smashed an incredible centurꦿy.

With the ton, Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper to hit a hundred in the rainbow nation. Before him, the record for the highest individual score by an Indian wicketkeeper in South Africa belonged to former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who had scored 90 in Centurion in 2010/11.

Further, It was Pant’s fourth Test century and third in overseas. The left-handed batter had earlier smashed centuries in England and Australia as well.

Pant played exceptionally well, taking 133 balls to get to the milestone despite wickets continuing to tumble at the other end. He remained unbeaten on 100 as India were bowled out for 198 in the🦩ir second innings, giving Proteas a target of 212 runs.

“Even I’m standing to applaud one of the best ever knocks,” said Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar in the comm box after Pant reache✃d 𝐆the triple-figure mark.
