The overall record of scoring the most runs in a Test series by a wicketkeeper-batter is held by South Africa's Denis Lindsay. During the 1966-67 Australia-South Africa Test series, he scored 606 runs in seven innings of five matches. Pant needs to score at least 182 runs to break that record. (Picture Credit: AP)
Pant has scored 2677 runs in 36 WTC matches for India. He needs 40 runs to break Rohit Sharma's record of 2716 runs and become India's leading run getter in the WTC. (Picture Credit: AP)
Pant has hammered 88 sixes in 46 Tests played so far. He needs three more maximums to break Virender Sehwag's record (90) of hitting the most sixes for India in Tests. (Picture Credit: AP)
Rishabh Pant has scored 981 runs in 12 Tests played so far in England. He needs 19 more runs to become the first non-English wicketkeeper to score 1000 Test runs in England. (Picture Credit: AP)

Pant has four Test centuries to his name in England, and if he manages to score a century in the Manchester Test, then he will become the first wicketkeeper-batter to cross the 100-run mark five times in England. (Picture Credit: AP)

Lord's aggression not typical Gill, but captain's role demands it: Ponting
Batting legend Ricky Ponting said India skipper Shubman Gill's aggressive posturing during the Lord's Test against England was "a little out of character" but at the same time viewed it as a "captain standing up for his team". The closely-fought game saw plenty of drama on the field, including an animated flare-up between Gill and the England openers towards the end of the third day of the Test. India had managed to equal England's first innings total of 387, and wanted to squeeze in two overs in the remaining six minutes of play. However, that wasn't possible as the English openers took their time to get ready, and Gill exchanged words with Zak Crawley and then Ben Duckett. Former Australia captain Ponting understood why Gill's aggressive action at Lord's was met with surprise. "That was a little out of character from what I've known from Shubman in the past. I am sure everyone that was there watching it and I know you would know him quite well, that's not what he's generally like," Ponting told 'The ICC Review'. But Ponting also sympathised with Gill, saying it was a case of a young captain taking a stand for his team under the circumstances. "That's the captain standing up for his team, that's a captain really wanting to show that it's his team now and this is the way that we're going to play the game, and also, I guess, wanting to give a little bit back." India lost the Test by 22 runs to trail the series 1-2. The fifth and final Test begins here on Wednesday. Ponting felt that Gill acted in a manner similar to former captain Virat Kohli. "I think that's him starting to put his stamp on his team. And a lot like Virat (Kohli) did, similar ways like that. Rohit (Sharma) probably was never as outwardly aggressive, I guess, especially to opposition players. "I know he (Rohit) would quite often get aggressive with his teammates and try to bring the best out of them that way. But I love watching Shubman stand up for what he thought was right in the game last week." Ponting has played Tests in England across four separate tours, and twice as captain (2005 and 2009). He said that the pressures of such a high-profile tour could get to a skipper. "The UK can be a hard place to play. The crowds, as much as they love their game, can be as hostile a place to play as anywhere in the world. "The media there, when you're in a big series, when it's an Ashes series or when it's England and India, the media always feel like they're right on top of your back as well.

IND vs ENG 4th Test Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Take India To 78 For No Loss At Lunch
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul guided India to 78 for no loss at lunch on day one of the fourth Test against England. Yashasvi Jaiswal navigated a challenging spell from Chris Woakes while KL Rahul remained solid, guiding India to 78 for no loss at lunch on day one of the fourth Test against England on Wednesday. No team opting to bowl first has ever won at Old Trafford, but Ben Stokes disregarded that statistic on an overcast morning. Although the ball seemed around, the lack of pace allowed the Indian openers to play the pull shot with relative ease. Rahul (40) and Jaiswal (36) remained unbeaten at the break. India captain Shubman Gill believed it was a good toss to lose, which seems accurate given the dry and slow nature of the surface. Woakes made it particularly difficult for the batters, especially Jaiswal, who was beaten several times by the England pacer. In Woakes' first over of the match, two edges off Jaiswal's bat did not carry, highlighting the lack of carry from the pitch. During his eight-over spell, Woakes was pulled twice with Rahul and Jaiswal dispatching him in front of the square. A streaky drive from Rahul off Woakes brought him to 1,000 runs in England, showcasing his impressive performance at the top of the order in this series. Jaiswal, who was dismissed twice by Jofra Archer at Lord's, made a conscious effort to leave balls. He was also forced to change his bat when a delivery from Woakes seamed back sharply from round the wicket, hitting high on his bat and breaking the handle. The openers managed to survive the first hour of play, taking India to 42 for no loss in 14 overs. Towards the end of the session, Archer returned for his second spell, bowling a sharp bouncer to Jaiswal, who directed it towards third man for four despite falling on the ground. A couple of cut shots off Ben Stokes took Jaiswal into his 30s, with the second being a six over the vacant third man. Despite expressing confidence in Karun Nair on the eve of the match, Gill dropped him and brought in Sai Sudharsan in his place. The other two were forced changes, with uncapped Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur making way for the injured Akash Deep and Nitish Reddy, respectively.
