Over the years, Indian cricket has seen several wicketkeepers who have not only excelled behind the stumps but also made valuable contributions with the bat. While wicketkeeping is a demanding job in itself, scoring centuries in Test cricket adds another layer of excellence.
Here’s a look at the top five Indian wicketkeepers with the most Test centuries:
1. Rishabh Pant – 7 Centuries (59 Tests)
Rishabh Pant tops the list with seven Test hundreds in just 59 matches. Known for his fearless strokeplay, Pant has redefined the role of a modern-day wicketkeeper-batsman.
He has scored centuries in Australia, England, South Africa, and India, highlighting his ability to thrive in difficult conditions. His recent ton (134) at Headingley in 2025 helped him surpass MS Dhoni’s tally.
2. MS Dhoni – 6 Centuries (90 Tests)
MS Dhoni scored six Test centuries during his 90-match career. His most iconic hundred came in 2013—an aggressive 224 against Australia in Chennai.
As a lower middle-order batsman, Dhoni often led rescue acts, especially in home conditions—his century span from 2006 to 2013, showing his consistency across formats.

Farokh Engineer was known for his flamboyant strokeplay. He scored two Test centuries—one against the West Indies in 1967 and another against England in 1973. Playing in an era of uncovered pitches and fast bowling, his contributions were crucial to India’s growing strength.
5. Syed Kirmani – 2 Centuries (88 Tests)
