Rishabh Pant breaks 50-year-old record; Sachin Tendulkar hails it as 'truly remarkable'

NEW DELHI: India's dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant lit up the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday with a breathtaking 61 off just 33 balls in the second innings of the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. His explosive knock, which featured six fours and four sixes, left fans and experts in awe, including Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Pant raced to a 29-ball fifty - India's second-fastest in Tests - by launching Mitchell Starc into the stands. This feat was second only to his own 28-ball half-century against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru in 2022.
