No dia 4, depois de atingir outro século, Gavaskar pediu a Pant de brincadeira que comemorasse com uma cambalhota.
Rishabh Pant has once again shown his flair—not just with the bat but also in winning over his critics. After copping criticism from Sunil Gavaskar, who had famously labeled one of Pant’s dismissals as “stupid, stupid, stupid,” the India wicketkeeper silenced doubters in spectacular fashion with back-to-back centuries against England in the Leeds Test. The turnaround was so convincing that Gavaskar was seen on air echoing “superb, superb, superb” in praise of Pant’s sparkling 134 in the first innings—a moment that quickly went viral.
Pant didn’t stop there. On Day 4, after notching up another century, Gavaskar playfully urged him to celebrate with a somersault.
Sunil Gavaskar reaction on Pant’s century
Pant’s brilliance with the bat has not only delivered results on the field but also transformed public perception—none more notably than Sunil Gavaskar’s. The legendary cricketer, once visibly frustrated by Pant’s reckless shot selection, now leads his cheer squad. Pant’s centuries—filled with fearless strokeplay and audacious control—have brought stability to India’s middle order, reaffirming his status as a match-winner.
