Rishabh Pant Makes History: First Wicketkeeper with 1,000 Away Runs
Rishabh Pant, who keeps wickets and bats for India's cricket team, made history!
He's the first wicketkeeper ever to score over 1,000 runs in Test matches played outside his home country.
He hit this milestone during a match in England.
Unfortunately, he had to leave the field because of a foot injury, but not before scoring some runs.
Pant has been doing really well, with lots of runs in England so far.
This is a big deal because no other wicketkeeper has ever achieved this before!
Rishabh Pant became the first wicketkeeper-batter to score 1,000+ runs in away Test matches.
He achieved the milestone during the fourth Test against England in Manchester.
Pant was at 37 runs when he had to retire due to an injury on his foot.
Pant's tally in England is 1018 runs with an average of 44.26.
Pant has the most runs by a visiting wicketkeeper-batter in England.
