Indian Wicketkeeper and a batter Rishabh Pant on Sunday registered the fastest fifty by an Indian batter in the longer format to score the fastest 50 by an Indian in Test cricket. It has come off 28 deliveries.
Pant reached upto 50 runs in 28 balls and broke the record of former India captain Kapil Dev, who made his record of naking a half-century in 30 balls.
The wicketkeeper-batter achieved this achievement on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday March 13.
Jasprit Bumrah’s five-wicket haul and a decent start by batters have put hosts in a strong position extending their first-innings lead to 204 runs going into Tea on Day-2 of the second Test being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
