Australia vs India, First Test: 5 Talking Points

5. Rishabh Pant equals world record

Pant enjoyed a record-breaking Test

Amidst all the impressive numbers by players like Pujara, Rahane, Travis Head, Nathan Lyon, Ashwin, Bumrah and so on among others, there is something which may have gone under the radars, that is Rishabh Pant's record.

The young wicket-keeper, who recently marked his debut in the England series and has played in just six Tests so far including this one, has displayed great skill with the keeping gloves so far. And in this game, he picked up 11 catches behind the wicket, which equals the world record made by Jack Russels of England against South Africa (1995) and AB De Villiers of South Africa against Pakistan (2013).

He broke the Indian record of Wriddhiman Saha, who snared 10 catches against South Africa earlier this year. Pant was also in news for his chirpy nature behind the wickets, actively participating in the sledging of Australian batsmen, even succeeding in undoing some of them eventually.

The youngster can hopefully grow on as an exciting prospect for Team India in the years to come.
