IND vs ENG: From 'stupid, stupid, stupid' to 'superb, superb, superb' - Sunil Gavaskar applauds Rishabh Pant's hundred at Headingley
Sunil Gavaskar and Rishabh Pant (Agency Photos) Six months ago, the words 'Stupid, stupid, stupid' echoed through Indian cricket commentary as Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Rishabh Pant for his reckless shot in a crunch moment — a failed scoop against Scott Boland that led to a soft dismissal. LIVE: India vs England 1st Test Day 2 But on Saturday at Headingley, in the same breath where Pant once drew scorn, he earned admiration. The left-hander brought up his seventh Test century in style, launching Shoaib Bashir over long-on for six — and this time, it was Gavaskar on air again, exclaiming: 'Superb, superb, superb!' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It was a moment of poetic redemption. Pant, who had walked a tightrope of discipline and flair all innings, reached his ton with typical audacity — followed by his trademark front-flip celebration, now becoming a signature of his resurgence. 05:36 Dominant India on Day 1! Jaiswal & Gill Hit Centuries | ENG vs IND 1st Test - Sahil from Leeds Gavaskar, who had once brutally criticised Pant's impulsive nature, offered a far more nuanced assessment this time. Speaking on Sony Sports at the end of Day 1, the former India captain said: 'He's been measured in his approach, giving himself time out in the middle. But once he's in and the bowlers start to tire, that's when he begins to step down the pitch and really attack.' Gavaskar acknowledged Pant's evolution — from being brash to being brilliantly balanced: 'Because he gives himself that time early on, it becomes easier for him to play those aggressive strokes later. When he defends, it's like he has all the time in the world. He's got enormous talent — I've seen his centuries in South Africa and Australia, and this one is right up there.' Pant's ton, part of a 200-plus partnership with captain Shubman Gill , helped India take complete control of the first Test — and turned a past critique into a present-day standing ovation.

Rishabh Pant's approach gets dose of realism with ‘difference between sexy and silly' explanation: ‘He changes rules'
Former India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik gave his honest take on Rishabh Pant's batting approach after he showed his red-ball batting prowess against England in the first Test. The wicket-keeper batter displayed his outrageous batting approach once again on Day 1 of the Leeds Test as he stayed unbeaten at 65 at stumps. The left-hander continued the same on Day 2 and completed a brilliant century in the first session. It was Pant's debut outing as the Test vice-captain, and he made an immediate impression by displaying commendable patience early in his innings, signalling his readiness to embrace the added responsibility. But once he settled in, it was back to his trademark style, unleashing a flurry of audacious strokes that have become synonymous with his batting. Rishabh Pant scored a fine century against England in Leeds.(Action Images via Reuters) Ahead of Day 2's play, Karthik, who is commentating on the series, discussed Pant's approach and explained how it can be both sexy and silly. "Outrageous. There's a difference between sexy and silly, I keep saying this. He's got to look sexy if it comes off and silly if it doesn't. But I believe the Indian dressing room should be aware that this is how Rishabh Pant plays," Karthik told broadcasters. Pant rewrote history with his latest century, setting two major milestones in the process. He now holds the record for the most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper, surpassing MS Dhoni's tally of six with his seventh hundred. Pant also stands alone at the top among visiting wicketkeepers in England, becoming the only one to notch up three Test centuries on English soil—a feat unmatched by any other overseas gloveman.

He stressed that while the approach may not always yield success, it has often delivered for India in pressure situations, especially when the team has found itself cornered. "There is going to be many good days, but there'll be some bad ones as well, thinking 'what did he do?'. But that's okay, that's the man, he's going to win games for you from moments that you think, 'wow, is it even possible?' That's going to be the speciality," he added. The former wicketkeeper batter didn't shy away from admitting that Pant's batting style changes the rules of the game. "He is so good to watch, he just changes the rules a bit," Karthik told Sky Sports before the start of play on Day 2.
