Indian team vice-captain Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul shared a partnership of 195 runs and brought India's score beyond 360 and revived the match. England will now have to score 350 runs on the last day to win the Leeds Test. India needs 10 wickets to win.

From here, the match can now turn in any direction. Now, everyone is praising Pant, who scored a century in both innings of this match. His innings is also special because he adopted a defensive approach in the second innings, contrary to his style. At the same time, KL once again impressed everyone with his technique.

Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka is very happy with the excellent performance of his team captain, Rishabh Pant and former captain KL Rahul. He wrote in a post on his X account, "Two good! Back-to-back centuries for Rishabh Pant. Aggressive, audacious, brilliant. Only the second wicketkeeper in history to score a century in both innings of a Test.  Congratulations also to KL Rahul for his hundred."

KL Rahul's excellent performance continues in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries. He has achieved a special achievement with another powerful century. This is his sixth century in SENA countries. Now he has a total of six centuries with three in England, two in South Africa and one in Australia.

At the same time, Rishabh Pant has become the first wicketkeeper-batsman from Asia to do so by scoring centuries in both innings of the Leeds Test. Along with this, he has also become the first player to score two centuries in a Test on England's soil for India. Apart from this, he has become the second wicketkeeper in Test history to score centuries in both innings. Earlier this achievement was in the name of Zimbabwe's Andy Flower in 2001.
