Rishabh Pant becomes the 7th Indian to score centuries in both innings of a Test match, joining legends like Kohli & Gavaskar.
The vice-captain smashed 134 in 1st innings & another 100+ in 2nd (130 balls), giving India a 270+ lead against England.
1st Indian wicketkeeper & only 2nd globally (after Andy Flower) to achieve this feat in England. Also his 3rd consecutive ton across formats.
Pant & KL Rahul's centuries (Rahul's 9th Test ton) have dominated Day 4, with England taking just 1 wicket so far.
Comes after his IPL 118* for LSG - showing remarkable consistency post injury comeback as India's Test vice-captain.
India firmly in command at Headingley. Decision looms: bat longer or declare to challenge England's struggling bowlers?
At 27, Pant joins cricket's elite with this rare double - cementing his place among India's all-time great wicketkeeper-batters.
