IND vs ENG / Rishabh Pant will leave Rohit Sharma behind, Virender Sehwag's record is also in danger

In the Lord's Test, India scored 145/3 in reply to England's 387 runs. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 53* and Rishabh Pant is unbeaten on 19*. Pant can surpass Rohit Sharma by hitting 3 sixes and become the second Indian to hit the most sixes in Tests.

IND vs ENG: The third Test match is being played between India and England at Lord's, the historic cricket ground in England. England's first innings were bowled out for 387 runs, with India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah performing brilliantly and sending half the English team to the pavilion. Mohammad Siraj and Nitish Kumar Reddy took 2-2 wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja got a breakthrough. In response, India have scored 145 runs for the loss of 3 wickets by the end of the second day's play. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 53, while wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is at the crease on 19 runs. A big partnership is expected from these two on the third day, and Pant has a golden opportunity to create a historic record.

Record expected from Pant's bat

Rishabh Pant has scored 19 runs in his innings with the help of 3 fours. If he hits 3 sixes on the third day, he will overtake Rohit Sharma to reach the second position in the list of Indian batsmen who have hit the most sixes in Test cricket. Pant has 86 sixes in 80 innings of 46 Test matches, while Rohit has hit 88 sixes in 116 innings of 67 matches. After Rohit's retirement from Test cricket, it is almost certain that Pant will overtake him.

Pant on the way to breaking Sehwag's record

India's former explosive batsman Virender Sehwag is the Indian who has hit the most sixes in Test cricket, hitting 91 sixes in 104 Tests. Pant has a chance to break this record of Sehwag in the current 5-match Test series. For this, he needs only 6 more sixes. Not only this, Pant can also touch the figure of 100 sixes in Test cricket this year, which has been achieved by only 3 players so far—Ben Stokes (133), Brendon McCullum (107), and Adam Gilchrist (100).

Indians who hit the most sixes in Test cricket

Virender Sehwag: 91 sixes
Rohit Sharma: 88 sixes
Rishabh Pant: 86 sixes
MS Dhoni: 78 sixes

Ravindra Jadeja: 72 sixes

Pant is the batsman who has hit the most sixes in this series. 13 sixes have come off his bat in 5 innings of 3 Tests. If he continues to bat aggressively like this, then he can leave behind not only Sehwag but many legends.
