Pant, who was struggling with the bat in the series so far, rose to the occasion to unleash his attacking prowess on day two of the series finale.
Pant reached his fifty in just 29 balls, hitting a six off Mitchell Starc. This surpassed the previous record of 33 balls held by England's John Brown (Melbourne 1895) and West Indies' Roy Fredericks (Perth 1975). It also marked the second-fastest half-century by an Indian batter in Test cricket.
The fastest half-century record by an Indian batter in a Test match also belongs to Pant which he attained in 28-ball against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru in 2022.
The wicketkeeper-batter's knock was finally put to an end by Australia captain Pat Cummins off an outside edge to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Pant slammed 61 off 33 balls studded with four sixes and six fours. He was also involved in a 46-run crucial partnership with Ravindra Jadeja to take India's total past three figures.
