Rishabh Pant turns 'best babysitter' for Tim Paine's kids
Sydney, Jan 1 (IBNS): India's young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant takes on-field banter with his opponents seriously.
During the third Test against Australia, the home country skipper Tim Paine had sledged Pant asking him to "babysit" his kids while he went out with his wife.
In an Instagram story shared by Paine's wife Bonnie, Pant is seen holding one of the couple's children.
Bonnie captioned the story saying, "Best babysitter".
Pant, however, had also given back to Paine on the field.
When Paine had come to bat against a terrific Indian bowling line-up, Pant called the former a "temporary captain".
Paine is leading the team in absence of Steve Smith, who has been banned by Cricket Australia for ball-tampering.
On the cricket field, the results so far are not very comforting for Paine with India leading the four-match Test series 2-1.
With one match to go, India are hoping to make history by registering a Test series win in Australia.
