Sunil Gavaskar playfully pleads to Rishabh Pant for special celebration; Watch how India star responds after twin tons

Rishabh Pant knows how to turn his critic into a fan. After his poor shot selection forced Sunil Gavaskar to call him ‘stupid, stupid, stupid’, the India wicketkeeper's two hundreds in the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds have turned the former captain into a fan, the visuals of which went viral on social media. 

Following Pant's 134 in the first innings, Gavaskar ranted 'superb, superb, superb' to apprecite the 27-year-old knock. On Monday, the legendary figure went a step ahead by pleading the Pant for a somersault celebration after his second ton in the match. Notably, Pant has celebrated his hundred on Day 2 with a somersault celebration.
