Rishabh Pant has been reprimanded by the ICC on Tuesday ahead of Day 5 of the 1st Test. Pant was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match'. In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Pant's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
Rishabh Pant has admitted to the offence and sanction of ICC proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing. The incident occurred towards the end of the 61st over of England's first innings, when the umpires checked the shape of the ball with the ball gauge and decided not to change it. Pant showed dissent at the umpires' decision by throwing the ball on the ground in front of the umpires.
Rishabh Pant became only 2nd wicketkeeper to score century in both innings of a Test match after Zimbabwe's Andy Flower. The Zimbabwean had scored 141 and 199 not out in a Test match vs South Africa in 2001.
Rishabh Pant equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record for most hundreds for India in England with his 4th ton. He needs two more hundreds to get level with former India captain Rahul Dravid.
Rishabh Pant also became the highest-scoring Indian wicketkeeper in a single Test match with 252 runs against England in the 1st Test. He surpassed Budhi Kunderan, who scored 230 runs against England in Chennai in 1964.

I think that is my single greatest cricketing moment,' he had said in 2011. Garfield Sobers, with whom Doshi shared the dressing room at Nottinghamshire, had said, 'Dilip Doshi has an immeasurable knowledge to pass on to those who want to follow his path into professional cricket. He has played at all levels over the world and there can be no one more qualified to talk about the art of spin bowling.'

Although he didn't play for 🇮🇳 till he was 31, his slow left-arm brought him 114 Test wktsHe took 6-103 on his debut vs 🇦🇺 in 1979 & 6-102 in 🏴 in 1982 He is 1 of 4 bowlers who made their Test debuts past age 30, to have taken 💯 wkts #HBD Dilip Doshi — North Stand Gang – Wankhede (@NorthStandGang) December 22, 2024 Dilip Rasiklal Doshi born on December 22, 1947, is a former Indian cricketer from Bengal, though his roots were in Gujarat. Doshi was one of only four Test bowlers who debuted after the age of thirty and went on to take over 100 wickets. In Test cricket, Doshi made his debut in Chennai against Australia in September 1979, already in his 30s. He immediately made an impact, with figures of 6/103 and 2/64 – India's best bowler in the match. He continued to perform well throughout the series, and in the final Test in Bombay (Mumbai now), he was instrumental in India's victory, wih figures of 5/43 and 3/60. One of his most memorable performances was at Eden Gardens in Calcutta, his adopted hometown, where he took 4/92 in front of a 70,000-strong crowd. After that series, Doshi secured his place in the Indian Test side. However, in the following years, he struggled to establish himself as a regular match-winner at the international level. His only significant match-winning effort after the Australian series came in Bombay (Mumbai now) against England in the 1981-82 series, where he took 5/39, helping India secure a crucial first innings lead in a low-scoring match. The emergence of Maninder Singh during the 1982-83 season ultimately brought an end to Doshi's Test career. Doshi is widely regarded as one of the poorest batters in history of Test cricket, with a batting average of just 4.60. He also holds the record for the most Test innings in a career without ever batting above someone else in the order, with 38 innings batting at number 11. Dilip Doshi ODI Record In ODIs, Doshi made his debut during the 1980-81 tour of Australia. Against New Zealand at the Gabba, he achieved his best figures of 4/30. Despite his impressive ODI average (23.81) and economy rate (3.96), his fielding was not very agile, and his batting was limited. Consequently, he played only 15 ODIs for India, with all-rounder Ravi Shastri being preferred for the 1983 World Cup. Dilip Doshi Domestic Record In first-class cricket, Doshi continued to play, though his impact was limited. He made his first-class debut with Saurashtra, but played most of his Ranji Trophy cricket with Bengal. For Bengal, he achieved remarkable figures of 6 wickets for 6 runs against Assam in 1974. His long Ranji Trophy career shows 318 wickets at an impressive average of 18.33. Doshi also played first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire in England. His overall first-class career saw him take 898 wickets at an average of 26.58. In March 1983, he led a West Bengal side on a short tour of Dhaka. In the three-day match, he led his team to an emphatic win with figures of 7/39 and 5/74. His spin proved too challenging for the Bangladeshi batsmen, as he also took 3/27 from nine overs in the 45-over match.
