"Stupid and Irresponsible!": Sunil Gavaskar Slams Rishabh Pant for Reckless Shot

"Stupid and Irresponsible!": Sunil Gavaskar Slams Rishabh Pant for Reckless Shot

Former Indian crickеter Sunil Gavaskar was left disappointеd as Rishabh Pant's reckless shot got him out at a crucial moment during the Boxing Day Test. Pant, a lеft-handed batter tried to play a lap shot off Scott Boland but it ended up in the hands of Nathan Lyon at third man.

India was already in trouble after a late collapse on Day 2 and was counting on Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant to rebuild the innings. The duo did well initially, but Pant's careless shot broke the flow and gave Australia a chance to go after the lower order.

The big mistake was missed by Pant during a good batting opportunity to cut down Australia's lead and Pant got dismissed while India struggled at 191-6 in the 56th over.

Gavaskar Slams Pant for Reckless Dismissal

While commеntating, Sunil Gavaskar didn't shy away from expressing his disappointment over how Rishabh Pant was dismissed. He described it as a careless and irresponsible shot. He mentioned that such dismissals do hurt the team and that dismissals like these cannot be tolerated as playing his "natural game." Gavaskar urged Pant to read match situations more thoughtfully and make better decisions.

"Stupid, Stupid, STUPID! You've got two fielders there, and you still go for that. You missed the previous shot, and look where you've been caught. That is throwing away your wicket. You cannot say that is your natural game. I'm sorry. That is not your natural game. This is a stupid shot. This is letting your team down badly. You have to understand the situation as well." Gavaskar said while commentating.

Pant's Careless Shot Costs India in Crucial Phase

Sunil Gavaskar expressed his irritation at Rishabh Pant's dismissal with a sour comment saying Pant should join the opposite team's dressing room rather than India, pointing out how frivolous shot had only promoted Australia.

“He should not be going in that [India’s) dressing room, he should be going in the other dressing room,” Gavaskar added.
