With the hundred in Sydney, Pant also became the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a hundred in Australia. Pant also became the only second visiting wicket-keeper to register Test centuries both in England and Australia. Jeffery Dujon, with hundreds in Manchester and Perth in 1984, was the first.

Pant is now the second highest run-scorer in the ongoing four-Test series in Australia. He overtook Virat Kohli’s 282 runs and trails only Cheteshwar Pujara, who leads with 521 runs. Moreover, Pant became the first wicket-keeper from the subcontinent to score over 200 runs and take 20 catches in a Test series.

As far as the match is concerned, India declared at a massive 622 for seven in their first innings after centuries from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. Pujara made 193 and Pant was not out 159 when skipper Virat Kohli made his call in the final overs of the day after Ravindra Jadeja was out for 81.

Meanwhile Mumbai Indians official twitter account said that Pant has scored more runs than Kohli in this test series and got brutally trolled by their own followers.

In their twitter account they wrote “25, 28, 36, 30, 39, 33, 94* Believe it or not, Rishabh Pant (285) now has more runs than Virat Kohli (282) in this series
