Rishabh Pant Becomes India’s Leading Run-Scorer in WTC History

Rishabh Pant achieved a historic milestone on August 19, 2026, surpassing Shubman Gill to become India’s highest run-scorer in the history of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

Pant’s consistent performance in recent Test series has solidified his position as a key batter, with his current tally placing him ahead of other top-order stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

This achievement highlights Pant's evolution as a Test specialist, with the team management now looking to him as the primary anchor for the upcoming international series against England.
