Delhi: The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will be held at the Galle International Stadium from Saturday. During this time, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will have a chance to create history. Pant can break not one or two but a total of five records in this match.
Pant will have a golden opportunity to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. Pant has hit 97 sixes in Test cricket so far. By hitting three sixes, he can become the first Indian and third batsman in the world to hit 100 sixes in this format.
Pant can become the first player to score 3000 runs as a wicketkeeper in the World Test Championship. For this he needs to score only 220 runs. Pant will have to play big innings to reach this point.
If Pant scores 220 runs in the match, he will become the first Indian batsman to score 3000 runs in the World Test Championship. However, to achieve the same feat, captain Shubman Gill needs to score only 154 runs. It remains to be seen which of these two players reaches this milestone first.
In the history of Indian cricket, no wicketkeeper has ever scored a century in a Test on Sri Lankan soil. In such a situation, Pant will have a golden opportunity to accomplish this feat.
If Pant scores a century in the Galle Test, he will become second among the wicketkeepers who have scored the most Test centuries away from home. In this matter, only Australia's legendary wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist will be ahead of him.
