Written By: Danish

Pant needs 11 runs to pass Gilchrist (521) & 268 to surpass Dhoni's 778-run record for most Test runs by visiting keeper in England!

Milestone

With 511 runs @34.06 avg from 8 Tests, Pant already has 2 centuries in England - showing his comfort in tough conditions.

Current Stats

Dhoni tops list with 778 runs @37.04 (12 Tests). Pant needs 267 more to break this legacy in upcoming 5-Test series starting June 20.

Dhoni's Record

Pant must surpass Marsh (773), Waite (684) & Healy (684) after Gilchrist. His aggressive style could rewrite keeper-batting history!

Legends Ahead

Only Gilchrist averages 40+ on this elite list. Pant's strike rate (73+ in England) makes him most dangerous keeper-batter currently.

Unique Position

With 5 Tests this tour, Pant could smash multiple records if he maintains his 2018/2021 England form (144 at Oval, 146 at Edgbaston).

Challenge

At just 26, Pant could become India's greatest keeper-batter in England by series end - a huge leap towards Test immortality!

Legacy

Steve Smith needs just 51 runs in WTC final to break 99-year-old record!
