Rishabh Pant has hit 15 or more sixes in the four editions of the World Test Championship. He has become the first player to achieve this achievement. Now Pant is close to breaking the record of the most sixes in Virender Sehwag’s Test.
Delhi: The Indian team is currently on a tour of England, where it is playing a five -match Test series against the hosts. So far, three matches of this series have been completed. India is trailing 2–1. Many players were in the discussion in this series, but the most praise of Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant.
Pant has batted brilliantly by scoring two centuries and two half -centuries in three Tests. Along with this, he has also made a unique record in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC).
The first batsman to hit 15+ sixes in every WTC edition
Rishabh Pant has become the first player to hit 15 or more sixes in all four edits of the World Test Championship (WTC). In the current fourth edition, he has played only three matches so far and has hit 15 sixes in them.
In the first WTC season, he hit 22 sixes. In the second season, 16 sixes came out of his bat and in the third edition, he also hit 16 sixes. In this way, he has become the only batsman to hit 15 or more sixes every season.
Pant can break Sehwag’s record
India is to play the next Test against England in Manchester from July 23. However, Pant’s fitness has little doubt as he has a slight injury in his finger. If he plays in this test, then he will have a chance to break a big record of Virender Sehwag. Sehwag is currently in the name of India’s record of hitting the most sixes in Test cricket. He has hit a total of 90 sixes. Pant has hit 88 sixes so far. That is, only two sixes are at a distance.
