Australia vs India 2018-19: Five records that were created by the Indians in the Test series

First Asian wicketkeeper to score a Test century in Australia: Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant

After the arrival of young Rishabh Pant, the Indian team has certainly become more vibrant. Though the wicketkeeper-batsman struggled with his wicketkeeping skills in England with the ball wobbling around, he made a fine impression by scoring a fighting century at the Oval in a losing cause. The 21-year-old has got only better since then and had a successful tour of Australia with both gloves and bat.

With the bat, he was consistent throughout the series and amassed 350 runs at an average of 58.33 and with the gloves he holds the record of most dismissals in a calendar year along with Brad Haddin (42).

Rishabh Pant also has another record to his name by becoming the first Asian keeper to score a Test century in Australian soil. His unbeaten knock of 159 at Syndey put India in a dominating position, but unfortunately, it couldn’t produce a result due to bad weather.
