Rishabh Pant Becomes Fastest Indian Wicketkeeper To 2500 Test Runs
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant etched his name into the record books on Day 4 of the first Test against New Zealand, becoming the fastest Indian wicketkeeper to score 2500 Test runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Pant achieved the milestone in just 62 innings, surpassing the previous record held by former captain MS Dhoni, who reached the landmark in 69 innings. Farokh Engineer, another legendary figure in Indian cricket, had previously held the record with 82 innings.
Pant's remarkable achievement came as India mounted a spirited fightback, reaching 344/3 as rain enforced early lunch. India are just 12 runs behind New Zealand's first-innings total of 469. Pant's aggressive innings of 53 off 56 balls played a crucial role in India's resurgence, alongside Sarfaraz Khan, who scored his maiden Test century.
