It was the greatest comeback in cricket history; Really, Gilchrist
After winning the first match of the India-Bangladesh Test series, Rohit and his team have taken a 1-0 lead in the series. Superstar R Ashwin’s all-round performance led India to an easy win in the first match. Ashwin scored a century in the first innings and Pfeiffer also got a wicket in the second game.

The young stars Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill won the applause of the fans by showing amazing performance in this match along with Ashwin. Both of them scored several centuries in the second innings.
After this, former Australian superstar Adam Gilchrist praises the feat of Rishabh Pant. Gilli called the return of the ball one of the best in cricket history. Gilchrist’s comments were made while speaking on the Prairie Fire Club YouTube channel.
“Rishabh Pant’s is one of the greatest comebacks in the history of cricket,” said Gilchrist.
He said that he would spend money to buy a ticket to see Rishabh Pant’s match.
‘If you pay money and buy a ticket to see the match, you can take advantage of it when you see Rishabh Pant’s performance. That’s why I’m willing to pay money to buy a ticket to watch him play. I think regular fans feel the same way.
He is able to bring his own class in everything he does. He handles everything in a very playful way. He knows how to act in a fun way. That’s what makes it different,’ said Gilchrist.
Pant scored 39 runs in the first innings of the match against Bangladesh and got out after scoring 109 runs from 128 balls in the second innings.
After this century, Pant also held the distinction of being the Indian wicketkeeper with the most Test centuries.
Wicket keepers with most centuries for India in Tests
(In order Star – Innings – Century)
Rishabh Pant – 58 – 6*
MS Dhoni – 114 – 6
Saha Wriddhiman – 54 – 3
Buddi Kunderan – 28 – 2
Farooq Engineer – 87 – 2
Syed Kirmani – 124 – 2
Four of Pant’s six centuries have been overseas centuries, that too against the Sena nation.
The player’s top score is 159* scored against Australia in Sydney in 2019. The star’s other overseas centuries came from Birmingham, The Oval and Cape Town.
The match against Bangladesh also marked Pant’s return to international red ball form after being injured in December 2022. The return of the ball and return to form is very beneficial for the Indian Test team. Fans are celebrating the return of the ball as India have a series to play this year including the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Ball had missed several games following the injury. The 2023 IPL World Cup final, 2023 ODI and World Test Championship were all lost to the star. But the world of cricket is seeing the ball regain its losses one by one.
