Rishabh joins the elite list
The southpaw, who ranks third all-time behind Shahid Afridi (46) and Rohit Sharma (51), accomplished this achievement in just 54 innings. On Day 1 of the first Test against Bangladesh at Chattogram on Wednesday, Pant reached this milestone during the second session.
Mehidy Hasan, an off-spinner, attempted to get in between Rishabh Pant and the wicket. But all he could muster was a delectable full toss, which the southpaw dispatched over mid-wicket for his fiftyth Test six.
KL On what appeared to be a terrific batting wicket, Rahul decided to bat first after winning the toss. He and Shubman Gill got off to a slow start and made sure they survived the hosts’ early new-ball burst.

However, Bangladesh roared back into the match after Taijul Islam was introduced as he claimed two significant wickets in Virat Kohli and Gill. Suddenly, from being 41-0 to being in serious difficulty at 48/3 after Captain Rahul’s cheap dismissal. Pant, who continued to play his own style of cricket in Test matches, found Cheteshwar Pujara to be the perfect counterpoint. The southpaw managed his risks well and made sure that his 46-run knock provided his team some much-needed momentum.
