“I never want that…”, Sunil Gavaskar said a heart touching thing to Pant after the defeat against SRH


On Saturday (April 20), Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Delhi Capitals by 67 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Delhi won the toss and invited SRH to bat first and SRH posted a big score of 266 runs on the board. Chasing the target, DC’s batsmen could not handle the pressure of a big score and could not even bat the full 20 overs and were all out for 199 runs.

Apparently DC captain Rishabh Pant looked disappointed after the match. His emotions were clearly visible while speaking in the presentation after the match. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and legend Sunil Gavaskar tried to encourage Rishabh Pant with his words. Gavaskar said that he did not want the wicketkeeper-batsman to be sad about the defeat. He also said that the tournament is long and he can make a comeback any time.

Sunil Gavaskar called Rishabh Pant heart touching

“I never want you to have your head down, there are a lot of matches left so always keep smiling,” Gavaskar said during the presentation ceremony. In response to this, Pant said, “I will try my best sir.”

Pant said, “The only thought behind choosing to bowl first was that dew might come, which did not come. We would have had a chance if we had restricted SRH to 220-230. Powerplay proved to be the big difference. He scored a lot of runs in the powerplay (125) and we started playing fast after that. In the second innings, the ball was coming more late, which was more than we expected.

But when the score is 260-270 runs then the bowlers have a good chance. Hopefully we will move forward with a clear mindset. McGurk is batting brilliantly so far. That’s what we need to do as a team. We will see what mistakes were made in this match so that we can improve in the next match.

Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian veteran batsman Virat Kohli was out for 5 runs after playing 12 balls in the first innings of the Perth Test against Australia. He became the victim of Josh Hazlewood in the 17th over of the innings. Hazlewood had bowled a little back of length, Virat did not want to play the ball but due to extra bounce the ball hit the bat and Usman Khawaja took an easy catch in the slips. Hazlewood dismissed Virat for the 10th time in international cricket and the fourth time in Test cricket. Earlier, Kohli had not been able to show anything special in the Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Seeing such performance of Virat in the very first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the tension of the fans has increased. Meanwhile, let us tell you about Virat Kohli’s dismissals in Australia so far through statistics- Virat Kohli was out LBW for the last time in Australia in 2012. Australian cricketer Trent Copeland analyzed Virat Kohli’s pattern of dismissals due to his poor form. He told that, instead of being LBW or clean bowled, Kohli was often given out through other methods. It turned out that, the last time Kohli was out via LBW, he faced 2,037 balls, while he faced 1,578 balls before being clean bowled. According to Wisden, the last bowler to get Virat out LBW was Ben Hilfenhaus in the 2012 Perth Test, while Mitchell Johnson bowled him in the 2014 Brisbane Test. Since then, he has been caught out on 13 out of 14 occasions in Australia, while being run out once during the Test played in Adelaide in 2020. Virat Kohli is good at pulling the ball, due to which Australian bowlers have rarely tried bodyline bowling against him. In previous tours, Australia had bowled only 6 percent of the balls on the stump line. The remaining 94 percent of the balls were placed outside the stumps. Virat Kohli has been out like this for the last 10 times in Australia. venue Year way out fielding position Perth 2024* caught out slip adelaide 2020 caught out Street adelaide 2020 run out , sydney 2019 caught out wicket keeper melbourne 2018 caught out leg alley melbourne 2018 caught out third match Perth 2018 caught out slip Perth 2018 caught out slip adelaide 2018 caught out short leg adelaide 2018 caught out Street
