**Rishabh Pant Channels Sunil Gavaskar’s Memorable “Stupid, Stupid, Stupid” Commentary, Igniting Social Media Frenzy**
In the cricketing world, Rishabh Pant remains a pivotal figure for India in Test matches, despite his underwhelming performance during the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which saw India succumb to a 1-3 series defeat. The young talent faced significant criticism from the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, whose “stupid, stupid, stupid” remark, made during the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, gained widespread attention after Pant’s dismissal for 28, leaving India struggling at 191/6.
In a recent promotional video leading up to IPL 2025, Pant playfully recreated Gavaskar’s infamous commentary line, adding his own flair and a mischievous grin. The clip has taken social media by storm.

With the Indian Premier League 2025 season on the horizon, all eyes are on Rishabh Pant. Having spent nine years with Delhi Capitals, he made headlines in the IPL 2025 mega auction when he was acquired by the Lucknow Super Giants for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore and was named captain. As Pant remains outside the frame for India’s ODI and T20I line-ups, he is eager to make an impactful contribution with LSG this season, with aspirations of leading them to the playoffs.
**Commentary and Insights:**
– Bhullur Sonkar noted Pant’s inclination to entertain, saying, “Pant never fails to entertain—Gavaskar’s iconic moment, now in his style!”
– On the team front, LSG has retained formidable talent such as Nicholas Pooran for Rs 21 crore and acquired South African star David Miller. Despite the absence of the promising pacer Mayank Yadav due to injury, LSG boasts a strong Indian contingent with Ayush Badoni, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, and Akash Deep. Should Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram perform to potential, LSG looks poised to challenge for a playoff spot.
Lucknow Super Giants are set to kick off their IPL 2025 campaign against Pant’s previous team, Delhi Capitals, on Monday, March 24.
