India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant may not bat in the remaining Test against England after suffering a toe fracture, but he's already the best foreigner to come to England. Pant scored 37 runs before being retired hurt on day 1 (Jul 23) of the fourth Test against England in Manchester and went past a milestone no other wicketkeeper-batter from visiting country has ever achieved. Before the Test 981 Test runs in England - the most already by a visiting wicketkeeper-batter but now he's the first one to cross 1000-run mark. Before Pant, former India skipper MS Dhoni (778) held the record for most Test runs by a visiting wicketkeeper-batter in England.
5 Visiting Wicketkeeper-Batters With Most Test Runs in England
- Rishabh Pant (IND) - 1018 Runs in 13 Tests
- MS Dhoni (IND) - 778 Runs in 12 Tests
- Rod Marsh (AUS) - 773 Runs in 21 Tests
- John Waite (SA) - 684 Runs in 14 Tests
- Ian Healy (AUS) - 628 Runs in 18 Tests
Pant is also only the second wicketkeeper-batter behind Pakistan's Sarfaraz Ahmed to score 1000-plus Test runs in a country outside home. Although, Sarfaraz scored 1,178 Test runs in UAE - considered home to Pakistan during his career as international cricket was banned in the country.
Pant is also third on the list behind himself and Sarfaraz with 879 Test runs in Australia - again the most by a visiting wicketkeeper-batter.

How did Pant get injured and will he bat in Manchester again?
Pant, known for his unorthodox style of play, tried to reverse sweep England seamer Chris Woakes. The ball took underedge of Pant's bat and hit him on his right foot. The batter immediately called for assistance and was in visible pain as he left the ground on a golf cart. The prospects of Pant batting again in Manchester are too grim and the injury doesn't fall under concussion or Covid-19 sub, India won't be able to name a replacement as well.
