Dinesh Karthik said that a 'calm down' message from Gautam Gambhir contributed to the star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant's bizarre dismissal at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, June 21.
Pant played a tremendous knock for India against the Three Lions and registered his seventh hundred in the longest format of the game.
Meanwhile, Pant's innings had a bizarre end to it, and his brain-fade cost him his wicket in the 108th over. Pacer Josh Tongue bowled a short of a good length ball that moved back into the batter.
The wicketkeeper-batsman walked back to the dugout with 134 runs in his bag off 178 balls, and his innings consisted of 12 fours and 6 sixes.

What is the tone, what is the language.. - Dinesh Karthik
Karthik further said that Gautam Gambhir needs to learn how to get the best out of players like Pant, who are quite different.
“Maybe with Rishabh Pant, it needs to be a different way in which you get things done,” added Karthik.
