The colour of the ball or the format seems to have no bearing on Rishabh Pant's attacking game.

The flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter Pant on Sunday became the fastest Indian batter to score a Test fifty when he reached the mark in 28 balls on the second day of the ongoing match against Sri Lanka, going past legendary Kapil Dev's 30-ball record which he set way back in 1982 against Pakistan.


The dashing left-hander cruised to his fifty in 28 balls (7x4, 2x6) in the 42nd over of Indian second innings when he hit a Praveen Jayawickrama delivery through the extra cover boundary.

Pant also set a world record for notching up the fastest fifty by a wicketkeeper-batter in Tests, bettering the efforts of Australia's Ian Smith and former India captain MS Dhoni (both scored 34-ball fifty).

The Delhi batter backs his naturally aggressive style of batting and that is a positive sign for the Indian team, vice captain Jasprit Bumrah said on Sunday after the stumper's fiery knock helped them set Sri Lanka a massive 400-plus target.


Pant’s white-ball style batting in test cricket ignited a memefest on Twitter.












Not just Pant, even others performers like Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer became memers' delight




Enough said
