Mumbai: Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant went on to score the fastest half-century for the hosts aganst New Zealand during the Day 2 of the third and final Test of the three-match series at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Pant completed the 50-run mark in just 36 balls. He went back to the pavillion after playing a brilliant knock of 60 runs off 59 balls which was laced with eight boundaries and three maximums in his innings. The southpaw’s runs came at a strike rate of 101.69.
Before this, the record was with opener Yashasvi Jaiwal who achieved this landmark in the second Test of the ongoing three-match Test series against the Kiwis.
Other than these two layers, there are two more players who have done the same ting earlier. Harbhajan Singh did it in 2010 when he scored a fifty in 42 balls. Sarfaraz Khan is the other player who also completed a fifty in 42 balls while playing against the Blackcaps in the first Test of the ongoing series against the Blackcaps at Bengaluru.
