India’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant went on to meet Australian captain Tim Paine wife, Bon Paine and his kids. Bon Paine took to her Instagram stories to share a picture with Rishabh Pant holding one of Paine’s kid. Meanwhile, Tim Paine had asked Rishabh Pant whether he can babysit or not in the third Test. Paine told Pant that he can take his wife to the movie and then Pant can take care of the kids.
Meanwhile, Rishabh also had his revenge when he took a dig at Tim Paine. Pant went on to say to Hanuma Vihari at silly point, “Have you ever heard a word like Temporary captain. I am seeing one right now. The only thing he does is talk. You don’t need anything to get him out”.

Pant and Paine had a great banter in MCG.

“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 extends 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,” Paine had said to Rishabh as he had come to bat.

Meanwhile, it is good to note that both the players have left the on-field banter where it belongs. Thus, it is good for the game to see them catching up with each other.

Pant was carrying one of Paine’s child and posed for a photograph with his wife. She wrote that Pant is the best babysitter ever on her story. On the other hand, India had taken a 2-1 lead after winning the third Test match by 137 runs. Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the show as he scalped nine wickets and gave away only 86 runs in his spell.
