Rishabh Pant ‘Had three Celebrations’ in Mind for his century against England: Ended up with his iconic Summersault

India’s star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who scored his seventh Test century during the first Test of the five-match series against England, stated that he had three different sort of celebrations in his mind, but he ended up with the one he knew perfectly- the iconic summersault, also known as the handspring.

Rishabh Pant scored an iconic 178-ball-134 on the first day of the 1st match- and now he even holds the record for most Test centuries as a wicketkeeper-batter for India.

“I had three celebrations in mind – of an OK sign on the eye (which footballer Dele Alli does), another was ‘let bat do the talking’. Then I thought, I will quietly do the one I know well. I have been doing it from my childhood (front summersault- also known as handspring),” Rishabh Pant said in a chat with Cheteshwar Pujara.

“I trained in gymnastics in school. I am very used to it since childhood. Even if you wake up me up in the middle of the night, I can do this. After the accident, I had to work harder for doing this. I worked on it and it’s now easy for me to do it,” he said.

Rishabh Pant scored a century on the second day of the 1st Test, and his knock along with the centurial knocks of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill had posted India to a total of 471 runs in their 1st innings.
