Karthik Criticizes Gambhir’s Strategy After Pant’s Dismissal in England Test

In the England vs. India Test at Headingley, Rishabh Pant’s impressive century was overshadowed by his eventual dismissal. Dinesh Karthik, analyzing the match, questioned the timing of Pant’s departure, hinting that Gautam Gambhir’s influence might have played a role. Karthik pointed out that a message sent to Pant appeared to alter his usual aggressive play. Karthik emphasized that the method of communicating with a player is crucial, with the tone and language used impacting their performance. He suggested that a different approach might be necessary for Pant to thrive on the field. India, after a strong start, was bowled out for 471, with Jaiswal, Gill, and Pant scoring centuries. However, a late collapse saw India lose seven wickets for just 41 runs, with Josh Tongue and Ben Stokes leading the English bowling attack.
