Team India’s new sensation Rishabh Pant picture with Australian skipper Tim Paine’s family went viral, and he has now reacted on the same.
Pant was with the Indian team while Paine’s family had travelled with the Australian side to meet Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison at his residence on New Year’s day. The Paine-Pant banter about the Indian babysitting the Aussie wicket-keeper’s kids had already created a storm on social media. To take it up by another level, Pant got a picture clicked with Paine’s wife Bonnie and kids the same day he had met the Australian PM. (India vs Australia – Live Score)
“Everyone’s family were really nice. We met most of the people during the function at the prime minister’s house. It was lovely meeting them. I don’t think I have to change myself for something like that. The only thing is they put the photo on Instagram and it went viral,” Rishabh revealed while speaking to media after the conclusion of the second day’s play at SCG.
Here’s what Paine had told Pant during the second innings of the Melbourne Test:
“Tell you what big MS is back in the one-day squad. Should get this bloke down to Hurricanes… They need a batter. Fancy that extend you Aussie holiday, beautiful town Hobart too… get him a waterfront apartment. Have him over for dinner. Do you babysit? I can take my wife to the movies while you watch the kids.”
