Rishabh Pant uninstalled WhatsApp, switched off his phone and punished himself after 'stupid stupid stupid' MCG shot
Rishabh Pant is the toast of the town following his twin centuries in the Headingley Test against England. The left-handed batter is just the second wicketkeeper in the history of the game to score centuries in both innings of a Test match. The 27-year-old recorded scores of 134 and 118; however, this effort of the Indian vice-captain went in vain as England went down to chase 371 to gain a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Rishabh Pant uninstalled WhatsApp and switched off phone to turn things around (HT_PRINT) However, the picture was totally different a few months back. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Pant had a rare bad outing as he managed just 255 runs in five Tests at an average of 28.33. The southpaw, who is known for his aggressive approach with the bat, managed just 24 fours and 6 sixes in the entire series, which India lost 1-3. According to a report in the Times of India, Rishabh Pant realised the need for change in his ways after the Melbourne Test, where he was criticised for playing irresponsible shots in both innings. His first-innings dismissal, where he tried to play a falling ramp shot, was criticised by former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. The latter's rant of 'stupid, stupid, stupid' went instantly viral. Rishabh Pant then warmed the bench in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy as he didn't play a single match of the eight-team tournament, which India won by defeating New Zealand in the final. According to the Times of India, Pant decided to uninstall WhatsApp in March 2025, and he even turned his phone off. He only turned his phone on when he needed to contact somebody. Rishabh Pant, who captained Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL), did not even aggregate 300 runs in the entire edition. His numbers would have looked all the more abysmal had he not scored a century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the final league stage. Also Read: Ashwin, unlike Sunil Gavaskar, urges Rishabh Pant not to do 'front flip' celebration However, Pant's return to the whites has resulted in a change of fortunes, and the Indian vice-captain has started the England series with a bang. Rishabh Pant's punishing routine India's former strength and conditioning coach, Sohum Desai, revealed that Pant put himself through a punishing routine to improve his fitness. He said the left-hander did the hard yards even when he warmed the bench in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy. 'He did the most intense sessions day in and day out. He dragged me into the gym whenever he was free. He didn't care about fatigue or work-loaded programmes. All he said was he needed to keep working on himself. On the day of the final, he came to me with some kind of guilt in his mind and asked if he could take the day off. I said it was high time that he did,' Desai told Times of India. "Pant has so much reserve that he will be fine for at least a year without having to do anything extraordinary. That's why you see him moving around so well despite scoring two hundreds and keeping wickets for so long in the Headingley Test. Due to his twin centuries in the Leeds Test against England, Pant achieved a career-best Test ICC ranking. He is now in seventh position in the ICC Test Batting Rankings. India and England will now square off in the second Test of the five-match series, beginning July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

‘Is there something against this team?': West Indies coach Daren Sammy fined for slamming umpire Adrian Holdstock in AUS Test
After his open criticism of third umpire Adrian Holdstock during the first Test of their new World Test Championship cycle against Australia in Barbados, West Indies coach Daren Sammy was penalised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday. Sammy was fined 15 per cent of his match fees for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct on Day 2 of the first Test. Sammy was found guilty of breaching Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an International Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official or team participating in any International Match, irrespective of when such criticism or inappropriate comment is made.' The Windies side went down by 159 runs against Pat Cummins' side in a low-scoring match that had its share of drama on and off the field, with TV umpire Holdstock's dubious decisions costing the home side heavily. Skipper Roston Chase and Shai Hope were at the receiving end of questionable calls that marked their dismissals. At the end of Day 2's play, Sammy asked for consistency, particularly aiming at Holdstock on previous counts. 'You don't want to get yourself in a situation where you're wondering about certain umpires,' he said. 'Is there something against this team? But when you see decision after decision, then it raises the question.' 'We are just trying to find some sort of understanding as to what the process is. We only hope for consistency. That's all we could ask for. When there is doubt in something, just be consistent across the board,' Sammy told reporters after stumps on Day 2. 'I have noticed, especially with this particular umpire, it's something that for me started in England. It's frustrating. I just ask for consistency in the decision-making,' he added. Sammy admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction from match referee Javagal Srinath which also includes a demerit point, his first in 24 months. Newly-appointed Windies captain Chase was also vocal about the lack of accountability for the critical calls made by match officials. 'On the officiating: yeah, it's frustrating because as players when we mess up, when we get out of line, we are penalised harshly. Sometimes we're even banned. It might be in terms of a monetary fine or something. But the officials? Nothing ever happens to them. They just have a wrong decision or questionable decision and life just goes on. 'You're talking about guys' careers. One bad decision could make or break a guy's career. So I just think that it should be an even playing ground … I think that there should be some penalty put in place when you have blatant decisions going against you. 'I think it [the umpiring] was a big factor in the game. Because as I said, you see what batters can do when they get in. Me and Hope were going well and then we just had some calls that went against us. We even had a catch that went against us in the first innings when we were bowling, so you never know what the score could have been. But I don't want to harp on it.'

Roston Chase Slams Umpires: 'Our Careers Are On Line But Nothing Happens To Them'
Last Updated: In a scathing assessment, WI captain Roston Chase has questioned why umpires are not punished enough for their mistakes when their decisions can decide the players' careers. West Indies' Test captain Roston Chase didn't mince words over the controversial umpiring decisions during his side's 159-run loss to Australia in the first of the three-Test series in Barbados. Calling it 'heartbreaking', and 'frustrating', he questioned why no action was taken on umpires for their wrong calls, compared to how players are 'penalised harshly' when they make mistakes. TV umpire Adrian Holdstock was at the centre of the controversy as at least half a dozen of his decisions set social media ablaze. Chase had two of those 50-50 calls, one he survived and the other he didn't. But the most crucial one was Shai Hope getting out for 48 in the second innings after Alex Carey's reflex catch to the left. The on-field umpires left it to Holdstock to decide. Replays showed that the ball probably brushed the grass while still in Carey's gloves, but the TV umpire gave the dismissal. With both Chase and Hope failing to go past their 50s, West Indies managed a small 10-run lead, which wasn't enough to keep them in the game. 'It's frustrating because as players, when we mess up, when we get out of line, we're penalised harshly," Chase said in the post-match press conference. 'But the officials, nothing ever happens to them. They just have a wrong decision or questionable decision and life just goes on," he added. 'You're talking about guys' careers. One bad decision could make or break a guy's career. I just think that it should be an even playground in terms of when players step out of line, they're penalised. I think that there should be some penalty put in place when you have blatant decisions going against you," he added. Chase pointed out to Hope's similar catch against Travis Head in the first innings which Holdstock ruled in the batter's favor and remarked that such calls made them feel that 'everyone is against you'. 'Me and Shai Hope were going well and then, obviously, we had some questionable calls. That really set us back in terms of creating a big lead on the total that Australia set," Chase added. 'It's clear to see anyone would feel bad or feel hurt about those decisions. You're out there playing to win, giving it your all and it seems like everyone is against you," Chase added. Chase's comments follow his coach Darren Sammy's approach to match referee Javagal Srinath during the Test. Sammy had directly questioned the TV umpire, suggesting it wasn't the first time he felt that the South African had made such decisions in a game involving the West Indies. Cummins plays down the issue On the other hand, Australia captain Pat Cummins played down the controversy. 'We appeal (and) if we think it's close, use DRS and leave the rest up to the umpires," Cummins said. 'In some games, there's a lot of 50-50 calls. Today we missed a few 50-50 calls that went against us. I think it's cricket. I think it all balances itself out." After Sammy's press conference on Friday, Mitchell Starc had also attributed the issue to the technology. First Published: June 28, 2025, 11:37 IST
