IND vs SL: Rishabh Pant has a chance to make a big record in the first test, will become the first Indian wicketkeeper to do so

IND vs SL: The test series played between Team India and Sri Lanka will start from August 15. Currently, both the teams are practicing vigorously to prepare for this match. There is going to be a lot of pressure on the Indian cricket team during this test match. In such a situation, attention will also be kept on the star players of the team. Rishabh Pant, who is currently struggling with poor form, will have to make a big score in the first test match. If he is successful in doing this, then a big record will also be registered in his name.

Rishabh Pant can make a big record in Galle Test

When Team India played the last test match against Afghanistan. At that time wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant had scored 81 runs. He had missed scoring a century in that match. Pant would now like to bat in the same style against Sri Lanka. If he scores a century in the Galle Test match, he will become the first Indian wicket-keeper batsman to score a century on Sri Lankan soil.

Till date, no Indian wicket-keeper batsman has done this feat. Before this, Pant has scored centuries as a wicket-keeper batsman in India, Australia, England and South Africa. Whereas Mahendra Singh Dhoni had scored centuries as a Test wicket-keeper batsman only in India and Pakistan. Whereas Wriddhiman Saha has scored this century in India and West Indies.

Rishabh Pant looks under pressure

At one time Rishabh Pant had emerged as the biggest match winner of Team India in the Test format. However, when he failed against South Africa on home ground, questions started being raised on him. After which, when Pant failed in IPL 2026, the demand started to drop him from the Test also. Even his inning of 81 runs against Afghanistan has not given him that confidence yet. Due to which he seems to be under pressure. If he bats brilliantly in Sri Lanka too, all his critics will get a befitting reply.
