Risabh Pant made his way into the record books with his unbeaten knock off
65 off just 42 balls, leading India to a 7-wicket win over West Indies
in the third T20I at Guyana on Tuesday Aug 06,2019
The victory meant, India completed a 3-0 sweep over the West Indies in the three-match series.
Risabh Pant’s 65-run knock helped India chase down the 147-run target in 19.1 overs. In the process, Pant broke Dhoni’s record for the highest score by a designated Indian keeper in T20Is. Previously the record was held by Dhoni, who incidentally, held all top five spots for the highest runs by an Indian keeper in T20Is. Pant went past Dhoni’s 56 against England in 2017 at Bengaluru.
Interestingly,
Pant’s previous highest score in T20Is was 58 but in that match – also
against West Indies at Chennai in 2018 - he played only as a batsman
while the gloves belonged to Dhoni.
