¿Qué bateador indio anotó las 2500 carreras más rápidas en una prueba?

Rishabh Pant de la India anotó las 2.500 carreras más rápidas durante la primera prueba IND vs NZ en el estadio M Chinnaswamy.

After a two-year wait, Rishabh Pant’s incredible return to Test cricket following his survival of a horrific accident has been nothing short of extraordinary. Back in action, Pant has showcased a form like never before, maintaining his trademark aggressive batting style. On Day 4 of the first Test against New Zealand at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, he made history by becoming the fastest Indian wicketkeeper to reach 2,500 Test runs. Pant achieved this milestone in just 62 innings, breaking the previous record held by MS Dhoni, who took 69 innings to reach the same mark.

Despite his brilliant performance, Pant fell agonizingly short of a century, getting dismissed for 99 off 105 balls. His innings, however, was filled with flair, as he smashed five towering sixes at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, leaving a lasting impact on the game.
