Rishabh Pant on Saturday rewrote history books by becoming the fastest Indian wicketkeeper to amass 2500 Test runs during the ongoing IND vs NZ 1st Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Achieving this milestone in just 62 innings, he surpassed the previous record held by MS Dhoni, who reached the mark in 69 innings, and Farokh Engineer, who had recorded it in 82 innings. Notably, Pant is the first Indian wicketkeeper in the 92-year history of Indian cricket to cross the 2500-run threshold in under 65 innings.
