Breakthrough Seasons & Defining Performances
Pant started 2019 with a cracking knock against Australia in the Sydney Test. He brought up his highest individual score of an unbeaten 159.
After limited action in 2019 and 2020, Pant delivered his best in 2021. He aggregated the second-highest run tally by an Indian wicketkeeper in a calendar year. His six fifty-plus scores, though, are the t-most by an Indian keeper-batter in a year.
Pant levelled the record again in 2022, with two centuries and four fifties. What’s even more noteworthy was his strike rate. The southpaw struck at 90.90, the best for him in a year.
Impact of Injuries & Comebacks on Test Runs
Pant missed the whole of 2023 and more than half of 2024 due to his terrible car accident.
On his return, he brought up his sixth Test ton and ended 2024 with another 500-plus run effort.
