Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant went past former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to become the fastest Indian stumper to claim 50 wicket-keeping dismissals in Test cricket.

Playing in just his 11th Test in India's second Test against the West Indies at the Sabina Park, Pant claimed his 50th victim when he plucked a relatively easy catch off the bowling off Ishant Sharma to dismiss Windies opener Kraigg Brathwaite. The hosts are chasing a herculean 468 runs for victory in the second Test of the two-match series.

Windies got off to a dismal start in their second innings, losing both their openers in quick succession. India are eyeing a series whitewash after trouncing the hosts in the opening Test at Antigua.

MS Dhoni who is India's most successful gloves-man in Test cricket took 15 Tests to claim 50 wicket-keeping dismissals.

In December last year, Pant (21) had equaled the world record for most catches in a Test by a wicketkeeper, scalping 11 in the first Test against Australia at Adelaide to draw level with English stumper Jack Russell and AB de Villiers of South Africa. Pant's 20 catches in that rubber is also the highest by an Indian wicketkeeper in a Test series.
