Last Updated:
Rishabh Pant apologised to Chris Woakes during the fourth day's play of the first Test between India and England in Leeds.
Rishabh Pant continues to prove he's a pure entertainer. The India superstar has started his England tour on a terrific note, hitting century in each innings of the ongoing Test in Leeds and become the first ever Indian designated wicketkeeper-batter to do so.
Pant scored an entertaining 118 before exiting. During his stay, the 27-year-old gave plenty of memorable moments… and an apology.
Yup.
The India vice-captain ended up saying sorry to England allrounder Chris Woakes after backing out too late leaving the pacer annoyed who was already into his delivery stance.
'I was not ready," Pant explained. 'Sorry, Woakesy!" he added.
'Sorry, Woakesy!" 😅Just Rishabh-Panti things — mischief, mind games & masti! 🎭🎙Pant's hilarious banter with Woakes is peak Test entertainment — and yes, it's all in good humour. 🫶ICYMI, watch this golden moment from Day 4 unfold! #ENGvIND 1st Test Day 4 LIVE NOW Streaming… — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 23, 2025
The next delivery Pant was hit on his thigh by a delivery that came in sharply after pitching leaving the Indian in some pain.
A couple of dot deliveries later, Pant stepped out launched the fifth delivery over the bowler's head for a four. He went on to score the 8th century of his Test career.
Pant's innings was laced with 15 fours and three sixes.
Pant had scored a century in the first dig too – 134 – an effort that helped him surpass the legendary MS Dhoni in the list of most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper-batter.
Overall, Pant is the seventh Indian batter to score twin centuries in a Test after Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma.
