IND vs BAN 2nd Test: Rishabh Pant smashed Dhoni's 15-year-old record

In the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh, at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Rishabh Pant proved to be a beast in Test cricket. India were in a bit of trouble at 72 for 3 on Day 2, having lost the in-form Cheteshwar Pujara for 24, when Pant batted freely on a track that kept both seamers and spinners interested.

The left-handed batsman, who scored the most runs in Tests for India in 2022, got to his fifty off just 49 balls with a couple off the left-arm spinner Taijul Islam to break MS Dhoni's 15-year-old record for the fastest fifty by a Indian keeper in Tests against Bangladesh. He became only the third Indian keeper-batter to ever score a fifty-plus score against Bangladesh after MS Dhoni and Wriddhiman Saha. He smashed five sixes and six fours in his exciting knock as he and Iyer guided India to 226 for 4.
