‘Went to the loo. Saw them talking’: Shastri on Pant, Gill’s chat in Gabba Test

In January 2021, India’s three wicket victories against Australia at The Gabba will be their greatest test victory ever. Most of the major stars have disappeared. Chasing 328 on the last day Australia has never lost a test match since 1988, Rishabh Pant led India to an unforgettable victory, which will go down in history and may be on par with VVS Laxman The hat trick of 281 and Harbhajan Singh came from the famous Eden Test in Kolkata in 2001.

A documentary about this famous series is likely to be released soon, but nothing is more fascinating than hearing the inside story of what happened from a horse’s mouth. During the series, Indian coach Ravi Shastri recalled an interesting event that happened during the coffee break on Day 5 of the Brisbane Test, which confirmed his belief that India will choose the jugular vein.

“I think this is incredible, especially on the last day. I always know at afternoon tea that when we are three years old, telling Rishabh everything is meaningless. I can’t tell you what the conversation is. From upstairs I went to the bathroom. The two little boys were chatting-Jill and Pant. Jill played very well, scoring a wonderful 90 points,” Shastri said in Star Sports’ “Bold and Brave Pulling” “Vishastri Way” said in the show. “I stopped. I listened and walked straight ahead. I said, “Go ahead and you succeeded. This is the ultimate robbery. This is what we did there. “

India’s victory on “The Gabbatoir” allowed them to win the test series for the second time in a row in Australia, and won the earlier Border-Gavaskar trophy 2-1 in 2018/19. After standing with half centurion Cheteshwar Pujara, Pant used his tail to hit the ball brilliantly and remained unbeaten in 89 games, bringing Indian cricket one of the most precious moments in the sun.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
