Rishabh Pant made his Test debut against England and made his mark in Test cricket with a six. He registered his maiden century during the final Test of the series and became the youngest wicket-keeper and first Indian wicket-keeper to score a Test century in England.

He scored a couple of 90s during the two-match Test series against West Indies at home. The 21-year-old has been pretty consistent with the bat throughout the series against Australia as evident from his scores which read - 25, 28, 36, 30, 39 and 6*.

He has also created some records from behind the stumps. He took 11 catches in the first Test against Australia, which is most by an Indian wicket-keeper in a Test.

In 2018, he has featured in 8 games and scored 510 runs at an average of about 40 and a strike-rate of 70.5. So far, he has affected more than 40 dismissals as a wicket-keeper.
