It was a proud moment for Rishabh Pant who made his test debut for India against England in the third test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Some stats
He becomes the 36th wicket-keeper to debut for India.
He is the second left-handed batsman-keeper to make his debut for India after after Parthiv Patel.
He is the 5th youngest keeper to debut for India.
He becomes the 291st test player for India.
Dinesh Karthik had a poor run in the two test matches, which led the team management to think about including Rishabh Pant, who will bring his attacking intensive in the game for India.
Just one question. What about Rishabh Pant the wicket keeper? No one’s talking about that.#INDvENG

Multiple experts had pointed out Rishabh Pant’s lack of balance while hitting shots during IPL. Here he debuts against a solid swing bowling attack on a green top. How does one explain that?? #ENGvIND #INDvsENG @bhogleharsha thoughts??
