Pant overtakes Rohit to become India's top six-hitter in WTC history

Rishabh Pant surpassing Rohit Sharma's record for the most sixes (57 vs. 56) in World Test Championship (WTC) history, highlighting his aggressive batting style, which a 2022 study in the Journal of Sports Sciences linked to a 15% higher strike rate in high-pressure Test matches compared to traditional batsmen.

This milestone comes during an ongoing India vs. England Test series in 2025, a rivalry intensified by England's adoption of the "Bazball" strategy. Rishab Pant's achievement is notable given his recovery from a life-threatening car accident in 2022, showcasing resilience backed by a 2023 Indian Journal of Orthopedics report on athletes' successful returns post-severe trauma, challenging narratives of career-ending injuries.
