Rishabh Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a Test ton in South Africa during India's second innings in the third Test at Newlands Cricket Ground on Thursday. He has also become the first wicketkeeper-batter from Asia to get a Test hundred in South Africa.

Pant waged a lone battle on a pitch which was difficult for batters to score his fourth Test hundred. To put his high-quality century into context, no other Indian batter managed to get a score past 30 in the second innings.
