Gavaskar delivers scathing critique of Pant; lauds Reddy

A Tale of Two Innings at the MCG

India's hopes in the fourth Test against Australia took a dramatic turn on the third day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, as legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed deep frustration over Rishabh Pant's dismissal while simultaneously praising young Nitish Kumar Reddy for delivering one of the finest Test innings.

Pant's reckless shot in a crucial moment—attempting to scoop a delivery from Scott Boland only to edge it to Nathan Lyon—has drawn heavy scrutiny, with Gavaskar labeling it "stupid" and detrimental to the team's prospects.
