Pant matches world record 11 catches in a Test

ADELAIDE, Australia, Dec 10 (AFP): Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant on Monday equalled the world record for most catches taken in a Test, snaring 11 in the opening clash against Australia in Adelaide.

The 21-year-old, playing in only his sixth Test, matched the record currently held by England's Jack Russell and South Africa's AB de Villiers.

He eclipsed the India record of 10 catches in a game by Wriddhiman Saha.

Russell achieved the feat against South Africa in 1995 and De Villiers matched the achievement against Pakistan in 2013.
