Rishabh Pant became the fastest batter ever to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket, breaking Adam Gilchrist’s long-standing record. And he didn’t stop there. On Day 1, KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal’s fifties put India firmly in control at 197/1. By the end of Day 4, Sri Lanka was chasing 288; and fell short by 165 runs. It wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. While the world watched Bangladesh make history in Australia, India quietly dominated in Galle. Pant’s sixes weren’t just entertainment; they were a rewrite of Test cricket’s rulebook. And with the series opener sealed, the pressure’s now on Sri Lanka to bounce back. One man’s swing changed how we see power-hitting in the longest format. What’s next? Only time (and the next Test) will tell.
