Rishabh Pant is on a mission to make this second chance at life count, and the early indications more than indicate that he is firmly on the right track.

India's Rishabh Pant announced his return to Tests in style on Saturday with an attacking century during his first five-day match since he was sidelined by a serious car crash in 2022. The wicketkeeper smashed the bowlers to every corner of the Chennai grounds on day three of the first Test against Bangladesh before a double off Shakib Al Hasan got him his sixth Test century.

Pant collected 109 runs off 128 balls before getting out to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The left-hand batter also smashed 13 fours and 4 sixes throughout his innings.
