Rishabh Pant's MCG dismissal labelled 'stupid' by India great Sunil Gavaskar

ABC  

Rishabh Pant's hideous dismissal on day three of the Boxing Day Test has been pilloried as triple "stupid" by India legend Sunil Gavaskar. With India five wickets down and still trailing Australia by 283 runs less than an hour into the day's play, the tourists needed Rishabh and batting partner Ravindra Jadeja to carry a heavy load at the MCG. "He should be promoted up the order, because he bats with a great deal of responsibility," Gavaskar said, perhaps alluding to Rishabh's status as the number five in India's line-up, which is higher than most wicketkeepers. Gavaskar was the first Indian player to score 10,000 Tests runs — since joined by Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid — and the series between Australia and India is named partly in his honour.
