India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Rishabh pant creates two big records

India takes on Bangladesh in the first of two test matches, and Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has made an incredible record to his name.

Pant, who batted at number five, contributed to India's counterattack with a quickfire 46 off 45 deliveries before being dismissed by Mehidy Hasan.

India got off to a slow start, falling to 48/3 when Virat Kohli left the crease after scoring just one run. Soon after Kohli's dismissal, Rishabh Pant began to play aggressively, scoring 46 runs in 45 balls with six fours and two sixes. Pant not only reached 4000 runs in international matches, but he also became the second fastest Indian batter to hit 50 sixes and 3rd player overall to hit the fastest 50 sixes in the game's longest format. Pant now has 2169 runs in 54 Test innings, with 10 fifties and 5 hundred to his name. He has a strike rate of 73.10 and an average of 43.48.


Pant is also the eighth Indian player to hit 50 sixes in Test cricket. Virendra Sehwag, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly, and Ravindra Jadeja have all hit 50 sixes in the game's longest format. Pant will be India's leading test batter in 2022. He has scored 534 runs in the last seven innings of test cricket, including two tonnes and three fifties.
