Rishabh Pant Becomes Fastest to Hit 100 Sixes in Test Cricket
Rishabh Pant became the fastest batter in Test cricket history to hit 100 sixes, achieving the milestone in his 51st Test during the first match against Sri Lanka in Galle. He is the first Indian and fourth overall to reach this mark, joining Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum, and Adam Gilchrist. Pant's aggressive batting, including a powerful six that forced a ball change, has established him as a key player. He also holds the record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper, surpassing MS Dhoni.
