Rishabh Pant is undeniably one of India's most important players in Test cricket, but did not have the best time with the bat during the disastrous 1-3 series loss at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25. In fact, Pant was heavily criticised by legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar for getting out trying to play a fancy shot during the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Pant has now done a mimicry of Gavaskar's rant, and the video has gone viral on social media.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" are the words that Gavaskar had aggressively said when Pant got out on 28 in the 4th Test, leaving India wobbling at 191/6.
Now, in a promotional video ahead of IPL 2025, Pant himself can be seen trying to mimic Gavaskar's line, with a smirk on his face nonetheless.

Pant smashed 446 runs at a strike rate of 155 in IPL 2025, but it wasn't enough for Delhi Capitals to qualify for the playoffs, as they finished sixth.
