Rishabh Pant, who is struggling to score runs, is on the verge of surpassing legendary MS Dhoni to become the most successful wicketkeeper-batter in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia (SENA) conditions
If Pant manages to score a century in the England series, it will help him register his fifth century in SENA countries, the most by any Asian batsman. So far, the left-hander has scored one in South Africa, two in England and one in Australia
If Pant scores a second century, he will then register his seventh century in the longest format of the game, surpassing MS Dhoni's tally of six centuries
Pant is also one half-century shy of becoming the top run-scorer among all Asian wicketkeeper-batsman in SENA countries. Currently, he has scored 1,681 runs in 26 Test matches, including four tons and five half-centuries
On the other hand, Dhoni has scored 1,731 runs in 31 matches with an average of 31.47, with 13 half-centuries
