IND vs SA LIVE: Sunil Gavaskar slams Rishabh Pant –  Rishabh Pant’s dismal run with the bat continued on Wednesday in the ongoing IND vs SA 2nd Test. With India needing to set a target at Johannesburg, the onus was on Pant to add some vital runs to the tally. However, the wicketkeeper failed to grab his chance, throwing away his wicket to Kagiso Rabada in the 1st session. Sunil Gavaskar wasn’t a happy man.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was critical of Rishabh Pant while on commentary. Gavaskar said that the Indian keeper showed a lack of responsibility and slammed him for his shot selection.

“No excuses for Rishabh Pant. It was a forgettable shot and no excuses for him. None of that nonsense about his natural game will work. There is supposed to be a bit of responsibility shown because others are taking the blows. There are guys like Pujara and Rahane who are taking the blows. So, you also fight it out,” Sunil Gavaskar said during commentary.

Rishabh Pant has struggled for runs over past few Test matches and his dismal run of form continued after he was dismissed for a duck in the 2nd innings of the IND vs SA 2nd Test. After Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane scored vital 50s to help India swell their lead, the onus was on Pant to build a partnership with Vihari and take India past the 200-run mark.


However, the swashbuckling wicketkeeper played a careless shot of Kagiso Rabada to be out on three-ball which irked Indian cricket fans all around the globe. Head coach Rahul Dravid was hardly pleased as he watched the action unfold from the dressing room.
