India vs England: Gavaskar wonders why Pant was informed to alter stance by umpire

The legendary Sunil Gavaskar is baffled as to why the English umpires objected to Rishabh Pant’s stance of standing outdoors the crease through the ongoing third Test towards England as he feels that guidelines doesn’t forestall him from doing so.
After the tip of the primary day’s play at Headingley, the swashbuckling wicketkeeper mentioned he needed to change his stance after being informed by the umpire as batting outdoors the crease to negate swing shaped footmarks within the pitch’s hazard space.
But Gavaskar mentioned footmarks don’t decide a batsman’s stance.
“I was wondering why was he told to change his stance, if that is true. I only read it. Batsman can stand anywhere, even on the middle of the pitch and when the batsman goes down the track against the spinners (footmarks can form even then),” Gavaskar mentioned whereas commentating on the third day of the match.
His fellow commentator and former India participant Sanjay Manjrekar known as it “ridiculous”.
Pant spoke about this after India have been bowled out for 78 on the opening day of the match.
“Because I was standing outside the crease and my front-foot was coming into the danger area, so he (the umpire) told me that you can’t stand there,” Pant had mentioned through the digital post-day press convention on Wednesday.
“So, I have (had) to change my stance, but as a cricketer, I don’t have to think too much about that, because it’s everyone who is going to do that, umpires are going to say the same thing. I didn’t do that the next ball and you move on.”
The choice by the 2 English umpires as soon as once more that whether or not it’s time that ICC reverts again to its two impartial on-field umpires for Test matches which has been stopped as a result of journey restrictions within the put up COVID-19 world.
