Rishabh Pant‘s twin half-centuries in Mumbai helped him end the three-Test series against New Zealand as the top-scorer, which has taken him to No. 6 in the latest ICC rankings for Test batsmen.
Pant was the only Indian batsman to aggregate over 200 runs during the embarrassing 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at home. He scored three half-centuries.
As a result, the 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman moved up to the sixth spot after just five Tests since his return to red-ball cricket after a horrific car accident in December 2022.

He aggregated 261 runs in six innings against New Zealand at an average of 43.50, including three half-centuries and a highest of 99.
Before that, he scored 161 runs in two Tests against Bangladesh at an average of 53.66, marking his return to Test cricket with a century.
New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell, who scored 82 in the first innings of the Mumbai Test also benefited, rising eight places to be right behind Pant at number seven.
