Rishabh Pant became just the second wicketkeeper-batter to captain India in Test cricket, achieving this feat during the IND vs SA 2nd Test 2025 at the ACA Cricket Stadium or Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday, November 22. The 28-year-old was named the stand-in captain of the India National Cricket Team for the IND vs SA 2nd Test 2025 after skipper Shubman Gill was ruled out due to a neck injury. MS Dhoni was the first and, before today, the last wicketkeeper-batter to captain India in Test cricket and Rishabh Pant now joins the list. Rishabh Pant also became India's 38th Test captain.
