Rishabh Pant Mimics Sunil Gavaskar’s Viral “Stupid Stupid Stupid” Rant – Fans in Splits!
Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant hilariously recreated Sunil Gavaskar’s famous "Stupid Stupid Stupid" commentary from the Boxing Day Test against Australia. In the viral clip, Pant tries to match Gavaskar’s intensity but bursts into laughter. The original rant followed Pant’s reckless shot off Scott Boland, breaking a crucial 32-run stand with Ravindra Jadeja.
With the 27-year-old Rishabh Pant back in action, he recently recreated Sunil Gavaskar’s famous “Stupid, Stupid, Stupid” rant from the Boxing Day Test against Australia. A viral video showed Pant attempting to mimic Gavaskar’s intense reaction but ending up laughing at his own effort.
The original incident occurred at the MCG when Pant played an ill-advised scoop shot off Scott Boland, leading to his dismissal as Nathan Lyon took the catch at deep third. Gavaskar, commentating live, was visibly frustrated with Pant’s shot selection, given that India was building a crucial partnership with Ravindra Jadeja.
The recklessness continued in the fourth innings, where Pant’s pull shot off Travis Head triggered a dramatic collapse, resulting in India losing seven wickets in a session and ultimately the Test match. His dismissal was widely criticized, as India was in a strong position to secure a draw. Despite his aggressive approach, Pant remains an integral part of India’s setup, known for his fearless batting.
His recreation of the moment, though lighthearted, reminded fans of the high-stakes pressure during international matches. The video has since gained traction, reigniting debates over Pant’s shot selection and India’s performance in that Test series.
