Rishabh Pant’s lapses are being talked about more as he is doing a thankless job: Sunil Gavaskar

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday empathised with the struggling Rishabh Pant, saying the wicketkeeper-batsman has a thankless job to do and needs to be given enough chances to prove himself.

After botching up a stumping in the second T20I in Rajkot, Pant perished while attempting a slog in the series-decider in Nagpur on Sunday.

“There are two-three thankless jobs in this game. One is the umpires’ job. If he gets nine decisions right but one decision wrong, the wrong one gets talked about. Same thing with the wicketkeepers, they can do 95 percent of the things right but the one miss is talked about,” said Gavaskar.
