Rishabh Pant achieved a significant milestone during the Lord's Test, becoming India's joint-second highest six-hitter in Test matches. He smashed his 88th six, equaling Rohit Sharma's record and trailing only Virender Sehwag.
Pant reached his half-century on Day 3, continuing his strong form in the series. He played a fluent innings of 74 runs off 112 balls, contributing significantly to India's response to England's first innings total.
Pant's aggressive approach was on display as he hit a hooked six off Ben Stokes to reach his fifty. However, his innings ended just before lunch when he was run out attempting a quick single. Despite the unfortunate dismissal, Pant's achievement further solidifies his reputation as a powerful hitter in Test cricket.
