Well, the pants have now hit 88 sixes in Test cricket, which is equal to Rohit Sharma’s tally. He is just two sixes away from breaking Virender Sehwag’s record, which currently holds records for most test sixes by an Indian batsman with 90. Pant is now closing to become India’s top six-hitter in testing history.
Additionally, the pants have now set a special record in Test cricket. With his latest fifty in the third test in England, the left -handed batsman has equaled MS Dhoni’s record for the highest 50 score by one wicketkeeper in England. Both Pant and Dhoni now have 8 fifty-plus scores in England.
