Gabba Vijay of 2021 is remembered, the day Rishabh Pant ended the pride of Australia in his so -called fort. Rishabh became one of the most prestigious test knocks in history against Australia in the fearless and unbeaten knock Gabba of Pants.
Chasing 324, Shubman Gill laid the foundation with a fluent 91, but a quick scoring and aggressive approach of the pants helped India break the long-lasting dominance of Australia in its so-called fort and win the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Justin Langer dropped Rishabh Pant’s Gabba Magic
For fans of Indian cricket, Gabba victory was no less than a story, a low squad, as an injury-injury, and a young wicketkeeper gave modern classic cricket in Gabba.

The knock of the pants is still considered one of the prestigious Test innings, but former Australian head coach Justin Langer has played the magic of that moment.

Langer, who worked with Rishabh Pant in the Lucknow Super Veterans (LSG) in the IPL, has suggested that the left -arm batsman’s innings was not completely extraordinary, as he explained how the pitch of that day was flattering and the conditions were different from the specific Gabba challenge.
This flat wicket was: Justin Langer
The former Australian coach has noted that changes in circumstances reduced Australia’s general domestic gains, and helped Indian wicketkeeper-boss Rishabh Pants to play the knock that won that match in Gabba.
Justin Langer said on “for the love of cricket” podcast: “Brisbane was always a crowd for us and has been for years. We lost some test series to India earlier.
Rishabh Pant played an incredible innings in Gabba. But it was also a fourth test during Kovid, and it was a flat wicket. The time of the year in January was different from playing in November. We have lost that profit. ,

What did Justin Langer say after Gabba’s defeat in 2021?
Langer’s comment on podcast was completely contrary to the statement he gave in 2021 after Gabba’s defeat. The former Australian head coach compared the pants in 2019 against Australia with a memorable hundred of Ben Stokes in Headingley.
He said at a press conference in Brisbane in 2021, “It was a wonderful attempt. (Rishabh) Pant’s innings reminded me of Ben Stokes’s innings in Headingly, really. He came in; he was almost fearless, and would be appreciated.
Now, it will be interesting to see how Pant Langer, his LSG head coach, will comment on his memorable knock in Gabba. In particular, India defeated Australia by three wickets in the absence of Virat Kohli in Gabba and won the test series with a difference of 2–1.
Interestingly, reports suggest that Lucknow Super Veteran (LSG) may decide how to participate with Justin Langer or Mentor Zaheer Khan ahead of IPL 2026 after the 2025 poor season.
