ENG Vs IND, 1st Test: Rishabh Pant Hits One-Handed Six, Celebrates Century In Style With Iconic Front Flip; Video 

In a moment of pure flair and fearless cricket, Rishabh Pant lit up Headingley on Day 2 of the ongoing England vs India 1st Test by reaching his century in trademark style, with a one-handed six and a front flip celebration that immediately went viral.

Pant reached his century off 146 balls, a knock filled with audacious strokeplay, clever footwork, and characteristic aggression. The defining moment came when he launched a short ball over deep midwicket with just one hand on the bat, a shot that has become something of a signature for the left-hander. The crowd erupted, and so did social media.

But the drama didn’t end there. Moments after bringing up his ton, Pant dropped his bat and performed a front flip on the pitch, stunning everyone watching. The celebration was a throwback to the IPL 2025 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where Pant had first shown off this now-famous acrobatic move.
