Rishabh Pant approaches milestone of 100 sixes in Test cricket

Rishabh Pant is poised to make history in Test cricket, requiring three more sixes to become the first Indian batter to hit 100 sixes. This milestone comes during the first Test at Galle International Cricket Stadium, which is marking its 50th Test match. Pant has already illustrated his capability in a warm-up match against the Sri Lanka Cricket XI, where he hit three sixes. Galle is expected to present challenging batting conditions, particularly as spinners come into play later in the match. India aims to rebound from past struggles against spin, with their roster missing Jasprit Bumrah for the series.
