Rishabh Pant entered his name in record books by becoming only the fourth Indian wicket-keeper to take five catches on his debut Test match at Trent Bridge where India are playing England in five-match Test series.
Pant took the catches of Alaistair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid to become only the fourth Indian player in history to take five catches on their debut. Hardik Pandya picked up his maiden five-wicket haul as India bowled out England for 161 in the first innings after India made a total of 329.
Pant has joined Tamhane, Kiran More and Naman Ojha in the elite list of cricketers who have taken five catches on their Test debut.

Kiran More v Eng, Lord’s, 1986
