Sunil Gavaskar on Rishabh Pant Stupid Comment: In the first innings of Melbourne Test, Rishabh Pant lost his wicket due to playing crooked shots. While commenting on this incident, Indian veteran Sunil Gavaskar had used the word ‘idiot’ for Pant. Now Gavaskar has put forward a big statement giving clarification on the same subject. He described Pant as rich in talent, but also took a dig at him once again.
Sunil Gavaskar clarified on calling him ‘stupid’
In an interview given to an Australian media channel, Sunil Gavaskar said, “When I see a talented player like Rishabh Pant, I have no problem with him playing such shots. I was disappointed because on the very next ball he again Tried the same thing.” The Indian legend also said that Pant wanted to strengthen his hold on the match, whereas as per the circumstances he should have considered playing boldly.
Gavaskar also said, “I have seen Pant playing many brilliant innings. But after coming here to Australia, I feel that he has only one shot left to play. He will go ahead and play big shots here. Wants to score boundaries. He has not played such shots before which have been incredible.
Sunil Gavaskar, who has scored 34 centuries for India in Test cricket, believes that Rishabh Pant should focus on playing regular cricket shots instead of playing crooked shots. Pant is currently in very poor form as he has scored only 124 runs in 6 innings in the current series against Australia.
