Rishabh Pant produced another special moment in his Test career on Day 4 of the ongoing first Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Galle International Cricket Stadium.
Sri Lankan fast bowler Lahiru Kumara bowled a good-length delivery that moved towards Pant. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter quickly changed his position. Amid this, Devdutt Padikkal achieved what Cheteshwar Pujara couldn’t in his Test career.
Rishabh Pant moved inside the line of the ball and played a powerful pull shot. He got underneath the delivery perfectly and sent it high over long leg for a huge six.
The shot was so powerful that Sri Lankan fielder Keshara Nuwantha, who was positioned inside the boundary, had almost no chance. Nuwantha tried his best and even jumped as high as possible to stop the ball, but the shot was simply too powerful, and the ball sailed over the boundary.

With that shot, Pant completed his 20th half-century in Test cricket. That massive six also helped the left-hander to achieve the massive feats. The six was Pant's 100th six in the format, making him only the fourth batter in Test history to reach the 100-six milestone.
Pant also becomes the fastest batter to hit 100 Test sixes, having reached this huge milestone in just 4,918 balls. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter reached the landmark 1,660 balls faster than the legendary Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist, who is second on the list.
