New Delhi, Aug. 15 -- India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant could achieve what no Indian batter has achieved so far, when his team takes on Sri Lanka in the first Test in Galle starting on Saturday.

Rishabh Pant is three sixes away from becoming the first Indian batter to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. The 28-year-old has so far slammed 97 sixes from 50 Tests, and is currently India's leading six-hitter in Tests.

He moved to the top of the country's list in November 2025 when he surpassed Virender Sehwag's tally of 90 sixes. Pant hit his 91st six at that time, during India's first Test against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Virender Sehwag is second on the list of most Tests sixes by Indians, with 90 maximums to his name...
