There is a limit to stupidity… You should not have gone to that dressing room, Gavaskar’s anger over Rishabh Pant’s irresponsible shot

New Delhi. Sunil Gavaskar’s anger reached the seventh sky after seeing the irresponsible shot of Indian cricket team’s wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. When the Indian team was in trouble in the Boxing Day Test match against Australia, Pant was out after playing a bad show. Veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar turned red with anger after seeing Pant giving away the wicket for free. He called Pant an idiot. Gavaskar, who was commentating, called Pant an idiot thrice. Pant returned to the pavilion after scoring 28 runs in the first innings on the third day of the fourth Test match of the ongoing series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He was caught by Scott Boland at the hands of Nathan Lyon. From fans to experts, questions were raised on the way Pant lost his wicket by playing a scoop shot on Boland’s ball.

Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja started the third day’s play. Pant looked in good form. The threat of follow-on was looming over India. But meanwhile, Pant was out after playing a scoop shot off fast bowler Scott Boland. Sunil Gavaskar got angry after seeing Pant getting out like this. Gavaskar, who was commentating, was displeased with a player like Pant playing such irresponsible shots. He addressed Pant as stupid thrice. Pant tried to play a scoop shot behind wicketkeeper Alex Carey on Boland’s full length ball and the ball did not come properly on the bat and the fielder standing at third man took the catch and sent him to the pavilion. .

IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 3 Highlights: Nitish Reddy completed his century with fours, third day’s play ended early due to rain

Nitish Reddy created history in Australia… became the first Indian to reach Vaughan-Gell’s level, also completed ‘double century’

‘You played a stupid shot’
Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Stupid…Stupid…Stupid, you played the shot where two fielders were already deployed. You missed the last shot and see where you were caught out. This is like giving a wicket for free. You gifted your wicket at a time when you knew your team needed you. You cannot say that this is your natural game. This is not your natural game. It was a stupid shot. You have disappointed the team. You shouldn’t even go to the dressing room. You should go to another dressing room.

Nitish’s century dealt a blow to Australia’s hopes of victory.
Nitish Kumar Reddy, playing the role of ‘troubleshooter’, has shattered Australia’s hopes of victory by scoring an unbeaten century. With the help of Reddy’s unbeaten 105 runs, India scored 358 runs for 9 wickets till the third day’s play was ended early due to rain. India is still 116 runs behind Australia’s 474 runs in the first innings. Seeing that the bowlers do not get any help on the flat pitch of MCG, it should not be very difficult for India to save the Test. Full credit goes to Reddy, who was India’s scout in this series. He set an example of fighting spirit and made an important partnership of 127 runs with Washington Sundar (50 runs in 162 balls), which was a turning point for India.
