India Loses When He Hits A Century! Star Batter’s Century Curse For Indian Test Regime Sparks Speculations

India has lost the first Test match at Leeds against England in the 5-match Test series of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 by 5 wickets. Although Ben Duckett emerged as the conductor for the English innings, what excited more was Rishabh Pant’s twin centuries in both innings. In the first innings, he scored 134 runs, while in the succeeding innings, the Indian vice-captain played a stunning 118-run innings. But Pant has set a strange record for himself. India has never won a Test match where Rishabh Pant has scored a century away. Pant has a total of 8 Test centuries, out of which he has smashed 6 away and 2 at home. His two Test centuries are at Ahmedabad and Chennai.

6 Centuries, O Wins

Rishabh Pant has made six incredible centuries in away Test matches, demonstrating his class in challenging situations. He has scored heavily in nations such as England, Australia, and South Africa. They are challenging places to bat, and Pant’s attacking approach has frequently raised Indian hopes. But paradoxically, India has never emerged victorious in any of the games where Pant has made an away hundred. From his initial century at The Oval in 2018 to his two centuries in 2025 in England, his work has been in vain.

Whether it was a draw such as the one in Sydney, or losses such as in Cape Town or Birmingham, Pant’s magical innings have not been sufficient to win the match for India. Even in 2025, when he scored consecutive hundreds in Leeds, England still won both matches by 5 wickets. This is indicative of how individual efforts, no matter how good, still require team support to translate into victories. Pant’s record is impressive and unlucky.
