Rishabh Pant was dismissed in the nervous nineties for the seventh time in his Test career, falling one short of breaking MS Dhoni's all-time Indian record.

Rishabh Pant overtook MS Dhoni in the list of Indian wicketkeepers with the most Test hundreds. The batter slammed a sensational hundred in the Bengaluru Test match to lead India's mega comeback in the 1st game of the series.

Rishabh Pant braved his way to a brilliant half-century on Day 4 of the 1st Test between India and New Zealand at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on October 19, Saturday. Pant walked out to bat while being heavily strapped in the morning alongside Sarfaraz Khan.

Sarfaraz Khan's first Test century and his 177-run stand with Rishabh Pant helped boost India's second innings total against New Zealand in Bengaluru. Sarfaraz scored 150 runs while Pant added 99, setting a target of 107 runs for New Zealand as India reached 462 runs.

While Kohli was dismissed on the final ball of Day 3, Sarfaraz hit his maiden Test century on Saturday. Rishabh Pant too joined the party, smashing 53 off just 56 balls before rain returned at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Sarfaraz Khan scored his maiden test century as India continued its comeback on the fourth day of the first cricket test against New Zealand.
