💥 Pant’s Ton Silences Critics, Wins Over Gavaskar
In a dramatic twist of cricketing redemption, Rishabh Pant’s sensational century during the ongoing ENG vs IND 2025 Test series has not only helped India gain a strong position but also changed the tone of his harshest critic — Sunil Gavaskar.
The former Indian skipper, who once called Pant’s shot selection “stupid, stupid, stupid”, stunned viewers this time by shouting “Superb, superb, superb!” during live commentary. The reason? Pant’s breathtaking century at Headingley, a knock that mixed caution, confidence, and controlled aggression.

🎯 Gavaskar’s U-Turn: From “Stupid” to “Superb”
Just a few months ago during India’s tour of Australia, Gavaskar had lashed out at Pant for throwing away his wicket after getting set. Calling him out on ABC commentary, Gavaskar didn’t hold back:
“Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! That’s an ego shot!”
Fast forward to June 2025, and the same man is now praising Pant’s maturity and shot selection. Gavaskar admitted that he was so impressed, he “wanted to do a backstand” in celebration.
📈 Pant Breaks MS Dhoni’s Record
With this ton, Pant achieved a major milestone — he now has 7 Test centuries, surpassing MS Dhoni’s record for the most Test tons by an Indian wicketkeeper. It’s a significant leap in Pant’s career, especially as India searches for long-term consistency behind the stumps.
🧠 Pant’s Knock: Controlled Mayhem
Pant’s approach this time was different:
- He started cautiously, respecting the swing and seam.
- Once set, he launched a counterattack — smashing six sixes.
- His post-ton somersault celebration brought fans to their feet and gave commentators a field day.
