Sunil Gavaskar, Indian cricket legend, harshly criticized Rishabh Pant's dismissal in the ongoing Australia Test match, calling it 'stupid' and urging him to understand the situation. India's batting has struggled in the series, and Pant's risky shot, caught by Nathan Lyon, further hampered their progress. Gavaskar believes Pant should be more cautious early in his innings and questioned if the shot reflected his natural game.
India n great Sunil Gavaskar has launched a stunning tirade at Rishabh Pant for a “stupid” dismissal before suggesting the visiting side’s wicketkeeper shouldn’t bother going back into the dressing rooms.
Pant and Ravindra Jadeja, India’s last recognised batsmen with Test centuries to their name, were at the crease trying to chip away at the deficit when a major brain fade took place. On 28, Pant tried to hit Boland over Alex Carey’s head but the ball struck him on the body. “You cannot say that that’s your natural game. I’m sorry. That is not your natural game. That is a stupid shot. That is letting your team down badly. You have to understand the situation as well. He should not be going in that dressing room. He should be going in the other dressing room.”Before the match, Gavaskar had urged Pant to curb his aggressive mindset early in his innings.
