India's wicketkeeper batter, Rishabh Pant has enjoyed playing Test cricket in Australia and perhaps has become India's most reliable batter in the longest format in recent times as India heads into the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 with an ambition of making it three away BT wins in a row.
He first toured Australia in 2018 as a 21-year-old who had just got his opportunity after Wriddhiman Saha suffered an injury. He started as India's wicketkeeper ahead of the veteran, Parthiv Patel.
He did not start the 2020/21 tour as the first-choice wicketkeeper but was given the role after the shocking 36 all-out in Adelaide and he did not disappoint in the three matches that he played. He went on to play an important role in India beating Australia in Gabba to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Let us have a look at what is his record against Australia in Tests.

What is Rishabh Pant's record against Australia in Tests?
On the back of a 114 against England at the Oval in 2018, Pant performed well in the Australia tour as well where he got another Test century in SENA with a 159* at the SCG.
Pant was also one of the most important players when India won the series down under in 2020/21 where he played important 97 at Sydney and 85 in the historic run-chase at the Gabba.
The southpaw missed the 2023 BGT following his accident in December 2022 but is back again with a bang in 2024/25 as one of the most important players in the team.
