Rishabh Pant has been one of the most consistent Indian batters over the last few years where most around him have struggled for runs.
Whenever the Indian team have found themselves in trouble, Pant has managed to rescue them with his rather unorthodox Test batting while maintaining a solid defence.

One of the best characteristics of his Test batting has been his ability to take on the bowlers at will — scoring counterattacking fours and sixes.
As a testament to his attacking style of Test batting, he started his England tour of 2025 as the vice-captain in style, scoring 65 runs overnight on Day 1 at Headingley.
On his way to 65, he also went past Rohit Sharma to become the Indian with the most sixes in the World Test Championship. Check out the list below.
