Rishabh Pant ODI Century: Rishabh Pant has created a new world record by becoming the first Asian-wicketkeeper batsman to score a century in both ODI and Tests in England. He achieved this feat with his match-winning maiden century against England in the final ODI at Manchester. 

Rishabh Pant's 125 runs not out and 133-run partnership with Hardik Pandya led India to a five-wicket win against England in the final ODI of the three-match ODI series, registering a 2-1 series win. 

England's skipper Jos Buttler played a major role in bringing England back in the game from being 74/4. Though England were bundled up in just 45.5 overs, they managed to put a decent score of 259 runs on the final scorecard. Indian bowlers especially Hardik Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal played a major role in getting England all-out. Pandya came in to provide key breakthroughs with major wickets like that of Jason Roy, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. 

While chasing down 260 runs did not seem as a daunting task at first, India lost its top-order batsmen - Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat early to Reece Topley's fiery bowling. However, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya held on to their wickets and their 133-run partnership took India from 72/4 to 205/5. Rishabh Pant remained not out at 125 runs along with Ravindra Jadeja.
