Rishabh Pant turns babysitter for Tim Paine’s kids

Written by Vipin Darwade

The ongoing Test series between India and Australia has seen its fair share of sledging and one of the best instances took place between Tim Paine and Rishabh Pant during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.

While batting, Rishabh Pant was constantly sledged by the Australia skipper who asked the youngster if he can do babysitting when he (Paine) takes his wife for the movie.

The rivalry will surely continue in the fourth Test in Sydney but on Tuesday, Pant was dubbed ‘best babysitter’ by Tim Paine’s wife Bonnie Paine as he met the Paine family.

Bonnie shared a story on Instagram, in which Rishabh can be seen holding one of her kids. Bonnie also called Rishabh best ‘babysitter’ in the picture. Here is the story shared by Bonnie –

The members of the two teams met the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, earlier in the day. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared few pictures on its Twitter handle of the meet ahead of the Sydney Test.
