Rishabh pant mimics sunil gavaskar: Rishabh Pant is undoubtedly one of the most important players in India in Test cricket, who has won India on many important occasions. His innings in the Gaba Test is one of the memorable moments of Indian cricket. But his previous Australian tour was quite bad with the bat. India suffered a 1-3 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series and Pant was dismissed by playing a bad shot in the entire Test series. During the fourth Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rishabh Pant lost his wicket by playing a shot that there was no need at that time. In such a situation, Sunil Gavaskar, who was commenting during that time, was severely provoked and he criticized Pant a lot. Gavaskar called Pant stupid during that time. At the same time, Pant has copied Gavaskar’s statement and this video has gone viral on social media.
“Stupid … Stupid … Stupid!” These are the words that Gavaskar said aggressively when Pant was out for 28 runs in the fourth Test, causing India to falter at 191/6. At the same time, in a promotional video before IPL 2025, Pant can be seen trying to mimic Gavaskar’s line. During this time a smile can be seen on the face of Panch.
Let me tell you, for IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants have made Rishabh Pant their captain and in such a situation, everyone’s eyes will be on Rishabh Pant. After nine years with Delhi Capitals (DC), Pant was bought by Sanjeev Goenka’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owned by Sanjeev Goenka for Rs 27 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. This was the biggest bid on a player in the IPL. Pant will try to get Lucknow the title.
If we talk about Rishabh Pant’s record, then he has scored 3284 runs in 111 matches at a strike rate of 148.93 and an average of 35.31. Pant is one of the batsmen whose names are a century in the IPL. Pant has scored a century and 18 fifties in the IPL. His highest score has been 128 unbeaten. Last season, he scored 446 runs in 12 innings of 13 matches at an average of 40.55 and a strike rate of 155.40. But this was not enough because Delhi could not qualify for the playoffs.
