The Young Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was lucky enough to survive in India’s second innings in the second Test match of the two-match series against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team after the ball had hit the stumps but the bails remained intact.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Pant batted exceptionally well on a tough batting surface in both the innings for India and played aggressive and fearless knocks in the pink-ball Test match.

Meanwhile, an unusual incident took place on the 5th ball of the 42nd over of India’s second innings when Rishabh Pant was on the strike and Praveen Jayawickrama was bowling.
The spinner bowled a delivery that sharply turned from way outside off and there was no shot offered by the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and he moved away but the ball ricocheted off him and hit the stumps but luckily the bails remained intact.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka had opted for a review on that delivery but the ball tracking showed that the ball was missing the off-stump and he was given not out.

However, Rishabh Pant was unable to survive for very long as he was dismissed by Praveen Jayawickrama in the 42nd over. Pant was able to score 50 runs off 31 balls and his innings consisted of 7 fours and 2 amazing sixes.
Also, he has become the fastest Indian batsman to smash a half-century in the history of Test cricket as he smashed 50 runs off 28 deliveries. He broke 40 years old record of legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev who smashed a half-century off 30 balls against Pakistan in Karachi in 1982. Also, this was 2nd fastest fifty scored in Test cricket on Indian soil and Pant is just behind Shahid Afridi, who scored fifty off 26 balls. Also, Ian Botham has scored a half-century off 28 balls.
