Galle/IBNS, Aug. 18 -- India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has scripted history by becoming the first Indian cricketer to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket, media reports said.

With the feat, Pant became only the fourth cricketer in the world to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket.

He joined an elite list featuring England's Ben Stokes, former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum and Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist.

The achievement further underlines Pant's reputation as one of the most aggressive and impactful wicketkeeper-batters in modern Test cricket.

The landmark adds another record to Pant's Test career, with his attacking approach and ability to change the momentum of a match making him a key part of India's red-ball set...
