Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed Rishabh Pant for his reckless shot to the third man on day 3 of the fourth Test at Melbourne. While commenting for Fox Cricket, Gavaskar was literally furious about Pant's shot selection, calling it "stupid." Pant has been struggling since morning; got life twice after two dropped catches at the slip and survived two run-outs. Despite that, Pant continued his way of playing and tried a scoop shot off Scot Boland's full-length delivery, almost falling down on the field. However, he got caught by Nathan Lyon in the deep third. Seeing that, Sunil Gavaskar burst out, saying, "Stupid, stupid, stupid! You have two fielders there, you still go for that shot. You have missed the previous shot and look where you have been caught. You have been caught at deep third man. That is throwing away your wicket. Not in the situation that India was. You have to understand the situation as well. You cannot say that that's your natural game. I'm sorry that is not your natural game. That is a stupid shot that is letting your team down badly. He should not be going in that dressing room. He should be going to the other dressing room." "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" 😡🏏 Safe to say Sunny wasn't happy with Rishabh Pant after that shot.Read more: https://t.co/bEUlbXRNpm💻📝 Live blog: https://t.co/YOMQ9DL7gm🟢 Listen live: https://t.co/VP2GGbfgge #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/Fe2hdpAtVl — ABC SPORT (@abcsport) December 28, 2024 Hasha Bhogle, who was partnering Gavaskar in the commentary panel, looked shocked but finally carried on, concluding the conversation.

However, a short disruption due to rain got Washington a bit fumbling with his shots, but he is nearing his 50s anyway. Nitish Reddy made his maiden Test half-century after 11 innings, right now being the joint most run-getter at the 8th spot, for India.
