Rishabh Pant, the dynamic Indian wicket-keeper batsman, has etched his name in the record books yet again, adding another feather to his already illustrious cap. During the ongoing second Test match against England at Edgbaston, Pant achieved a remarkable feat, solidifying his reputation as one of the most destructive and innovative batsmen in modern cricket.

Pant has now become the visiting batter with the most sixes in a country in Test cricket. Surpassing England's Ben Stokes, who previously held the record with 21 sixes in South Africa, Pant has now smashed 22 sixes in England. This achievement highlights Pant's aggressive approach and his ability to dominate bowling attacks, even in foreign conditions.

The record was broken on Day 4 of the Test, moments after Pant walked to the crease following the dismissal of KL Rahul. Pant wasted no time, dispatching England pacer Josh Tongue for a six, securing the record and further extending India's lead.

This isn't the first time Pant has broken records and achieved milestones in his relatively short but impactful international career. He has a knack for rewriting record books and achieving feats that were previously considered unattainable. In June 2025, during the first Test against England, Pant became the first wicket-keeper to score centuries in both innings of a Test match away from home. He scored 134 runs in the first innings and followed it up with 118 in the second innings. Kumar Sangakkara previously held the record for most aggregate runs in a match by a wicketkeeper, with 244 runs. Pant surpassed this by amassing 252 runs in the match. He also became the seventh Indian player to score a century in both innings of a Test match.

Pant's aggressive batting style and fearless approach have made him a fan favorite and a game-changer for the Indian team. He has the ability to single-handedly change the course of a match with his explosive hitting and unconventional stroke play. He made his Test debut in August 2018 against England. In that series, he scored his maiden Test century, becoming the first Indian wicket-keeper to achieve this feat in England. In January 2019, he repeated the feat in Australia, becoming the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a Test century in Australia.

Pant's journey to the top hasn't been without its challenges. He has faced criticism for his shot selection at times. However, his match-winning performances and record-breaking feats have silenced his critics and established him as a key member of the Indian team. In December 2022, Pant was involved in a car accident. After recovering, he played a key role in India's victories in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy.

Rishabh Pant's recent record is a testament to his talent, hard work, and unwavering self-belief. As he continues his cricketing journey, fans can expect more fireworks and record-breaking performances from this dynamic and fearless cricketer.
