A total of nine sixes in the ongoing match helped Pant equal the record of hitting the most sixes in a Test match played in England. Before Pant, Andrew Flintoff (vs Australia in Edgbaston in 2005) and Ben Stokes (vs Australia at Lord's in 2023) also scored nine sixes in a Test match in England. Pant, who is India's leading six hitter in the World Test Championship (WTC), overall has hit 82 maximums in 44 Test matches played so far.

Pant has scored four Test centuries in England, which also helps him equal Matt Prior's record of most Test centuries in England by a wicketkeeper-batter.
