Rishabh Pant Closing in on Historic Milestone

Rishabh Pant is on the brink of becoming India’s most prolific six-hitter in Test cricket. As the third Test at Lord’s begins, the wicketkeeper-batter stands just 5 sixes away from surpassing Virender Sehwag’s record of 90 sixes.

Pant currently has 86 sixes in 57 Tests, while Sehwag reached his tally in 104. The pace at which Pant is closing in reflects his fearless batting and match-changing intent.



Pant’s Impact: Sixes and Stats

Pant is not just close to a record—he is redefining India’s approach in red-ball cricket. His six-hitting ability adds a new dimension to the middle order.

Here’s how Pant compares with India’s best:

Lord’s: A Fitting Venue for History?

The third Test at Lord’s provides a golden opportunity. Known for producing great innings, Lord’s could become the ground where Pant takes the crown from Sehwag.

The pitch is expected to be dry and flat later in the match—ideal conditions for a counterattacking batter like Pant.

Why This Record Matters

Breaking Sehwag’s record means more than just numbers. It would:

Establish Pant as India’s premier power-hitter in Tests

Prove his evolution from flamboyant talent to consistent match-winner

Signal a generational shift in how India approaches Test batting



What’s Next for Pant?

If Pant reaches this milestone at Lord’s, it will mark a defining moment in his career. With the series finely poised, India needs his aggression as much as his runs.

Pant is not just chasing records—he’s chasing legacy.
