Pant Poised to Surpass Dhoni’s Test Run Record, Says Aakash Chopra

Pant is sidelined by a right foot fracture sustained in the fourth Test at Manchester.

Overview

  • Pant has compiled 3,427 Test runs over 47 matches at an average of 44.50, with eight centuries to his name.
  • During the recent England tour, he scored 479 runs in seven innings at 68.42, including two hundreds at Headingley.
  • He is the only wicketkeeper to surpass 1,000 Test runs in England, registering four centuries and five half-centuries in 13 matches.
  • Aakash Chopra projects that Pant, if fit, will eclipse MS Dhoni’s 4,876-run tally in the longest format.
  • His recovery timeline from the Manchester foot fracture could rule him out of the 2025 Asia Cup and India’s home Tests against the West Indies.
