Rishabh Pant continued his dream run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to the international circuit, hitting his seventh century in the longest form of cricket against England at Leeds. This was the third time he had attacked England, as well as the second on English soil. Pant stepped out to an overnight score of 65, and the amazing batting talent of Pant was on display as he added to his score.
The feature of Pant’s innings was the aggressive batting style, especially against the English spinners. At the over, the 100th one bowled by Shoaib Bashir, he hit a six to reach the 100th run and celebrated it by dancing down the track to clear the mid-wicket boundary. This was also marked by his trademark somersault jubilation, which is indicative of his interest and enthusiasm for the game.
Rishabh Pant Continues Form Against England
The century made by Pant was not just important to him, but also contributed to the performance made by India in the match. It was his second hundred in a row after scoring an unbeaten 118 against Lucknow Super Giants in the last game of IPL 2025. The fact that Pant is consistent in his playing form regardless of the formats and the tournaments is an interesting fact about his game.
Interestingly, Pant has now chalked up a Test century with a six three times, and each of the three times was against English spinners – Shoaib Bashir, Joe Root, and Adil Rashid. This curiosity brings out the strong and weak sides of Pant when it comes to spin bowling. Rohit Sharma has done it three times too, as Sachin Tendulkar has a record of six.
The dominating performance of Pant at the batting crease against England is more than a morale booster to his team and a sign of his strengthened reputation as a talented and accomplished batsman. He is an asset to the Indian cricket team because of his capacity to perform considerably well under pressure and adjust to various circumstances. Pant has emerged as one of the best cricketers at the international level with his recent performances.
