Rishabh Pant is recognized for his vibrant and humorous demeanour, which has been prominently highlighted through the stump microphones, particularly during India's Test matches. Recently, the wicketkeeper-batter has elevated his antics by displaying remarkable bravery in a playful exchange with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. A video that has gained significant traction on social media showcases Pant imitating Gavaskar's famous commentary phrases while playfully critiquing the LSG star, whom he typically commands.

During the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pant misplayed a shot to third man in the fourth Test, prompting criticism from Gavaskar, who was commentating at the time. Gavaskar remarked, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." In a humorous parody, Pant is seen amusingly mimicking Gavaskar's reaction.

Here is the video of Pant’s Gavaskar mimicry:

In his renowned commentary on ABC Sport, Gavaskar expressed his frustration, stating, "Foolish, foolish, FOOLISH! You have two fielders positioned there, yet you still attempt that shot. You missed the previous delivery, and look at where you ended up being caught. That is a reckless way to lose your wicket. You cannot claim that this reflects your natural style of play. I regret to say, it does not. This is an ill-advised shot that severely lets your team down. It is essential to comprehend the situation as well.

"He should not be returning to the [India's] dressing room; rather, he ought to be heading to the opposing dressing room," he further remarked.

Pant's hilarious mimicry left social media in splits as fans took to X to pass their verdict. One fan wrote, "Hope Pant didn't feel bad about Gavaskar’s comment."

Here are the other reactions:

Pant was made available by DC before the IPL 2025 auction, ultimately becoming the most expensive player in the league's history. The Lucknow Super Giants acquired him for ₹27 crore following an intense bidding competition, as DC was unable to retain him due to having already utilized their Right to Match (RTM) card.

Throughout India's successful Champions Trophy 2025 journey, Pant did not participate in any matches, as KL Rahul was selected as the wicketkeeper-batter in the playing XI.
