ENG vs IND 5th Test: Rahul Dravid’s Animated Celebration On Rishabh Pant’s Century Goes Viral. Watch

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant smashed his fifth Test century on Day 1 of the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday. Pant, who has scored 50+ scores in each of his last four Test innings, took just 89 deliveries to reach triple figures. The 24-year-old hit 19 boundaries and four sixes before getting out on 146. As Pant reached triple figures in the 58th over of the match, India head coach Rahul Dravid, who was sitting inside the dressing room, rose from his seat in joy, with both hands up in the air, to celebrate the youngster knock.

India were reeling at 98 for five before Pant and Ravindra Jadeja rescued them with their 222-run stand for the sixth wicket.

At stumps, India were 338 for seven with Jadeja batting unbeaten on 83.

Promoted

Pant’s ton was his fifth in Tests and fourth one away from India.

It was also his third century against England, and second in the country, after his maiden Test ton at the Oval in 2018.
