During the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Gavaskar was famous as “stupid. Stupid. Stupid” as famous as stupid “stupid”, only “luxurious. Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic.” Fabulous. “The pants went away after Indian captain Shubman Gill was dismissed in the first place of the day by Bridan Cars. The 27 -year -old usually began in aggressive and unconventional fashion, but quickly suggested challenging circumstances.He played carefully before lunch, scored 31 runs in 59 balls, and then launched a calculated couple, especially targeted spinner Shoaib Bashir. Pant brought his century in 130 delivery and was eventually rejected by Joe Root to 118.Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta praised the nature and adaptability of the pants, comparing him to the flexible former batsman, Cheteshwar Pujara of India.
“The first phase of the pant’s innings was entertaining-he was trying to use strong wind in his side, playing those big shots. But the way he had done it was not very confident. Then he decided to switch the gear completely. And, it is the beauty of the pants-this is the beauty of the pants-his cricketing mind is sharp.“It reminded me of how versatile he is. It is the same man who at the beginning of his test career, once met 29-genders. He can bat like a Pujara for one or two hours. We have seen him playing at a strike rate of 30 for more than an hour during hundreds. He was attractive to see the opposite.
