Rishabh Pant’s massive six lands on the roof and goes out of the stadium on Day 2 of SL vs IND 2026 2nd Test

  • On Monday, Rishabh Pant became India's highest run-scorer in ICC World Test Championship history, accumulating 2,948 runs from 42 Tests and surpassing captain Shubman Gill's 2,917 runs.
  • Following an injury scare on Day 1 when Lahiru Kumara's bouncer struck his wrist, Pant returned to the crease on Day 2 of the Colombo Test determined to continue batting.
  • The left-hander smashed a 95-metre six that damaged a solar panel on the stadium roof, while adding a crucial 112-run partnership with Dhruv Jurel during his entertaining knock.
  • However, Pant was dismissed for 63 off 89 balls, holed out against Keshara Nuwantha on the first delivery after lunch, leaving India frustrated with an incomplete innings.
  • Pant also surpassed legendary MS Dhoni to become India's highest run-scorer as a designated wicketkeeper in away or neutral Tests, joining elite company including Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Virat Kohli.
