Rishabh Pant's Stellar Test Return Highlights Limited-Overs Struggles

Pant's century against Bangladesh underscores his Test cricket prowess amid ongoing white-ball format challenges.

  • Rishabh Pant scored a century in India's 280-run victory over Bangladesh, marking his successful return to Test cricket after nearly two years.
  • Despite his Test success, Pant continues to struggle in limited-overs formats, particularly T20Is where his performance has been inconsistent.
  • Pant's Test career boasts an impressive average of 44.79 and a strike rate of 74.11, with six centuries in just 34 matches.
  • Comparative analysis shows that other big-hitters like Virender Sehwag and Chris Gayle also had better averages in Test cricket than in limited-overs formats.
  • India's comprehensive win also featured significant contributions from Shubman Gill, Akash Deep, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, reflecting the team's depth and preparation for future challenges.
