Australia vs India 2018/19: Michael Vaughan Reacts to Babysitter Rishabh Pant's Photo

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan reacted to the Rishabh Pant’s photo with Tim Paine’s wife and kids. Tim Paine’s wife Bon Paine took to her Instagram story to share the picture which has gone viral on New Year’s Day. Paine asked Pant to babysit for him in the third Test match at Melbourne.

Both the players had banter with each other. In fact, Rishabh Pant also tried to take his vengeance when Tim Paine came out to bat. However, it was nice to see both of them meet after the third Test match. Thus, the banter was left on the field and Pant went on to meet Paine’s family.

Tim Paine had said on the stump mic, “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”.

On the other hand, Rishabh Pant also had his chance to give it back to the Australian captain Tim Paine when he came to bat. Pant took a dig at Paine by calling him the Temporary captain.

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”.

Subsequently, Michael Vaughan who has been covering the series for Fox Cricket reacted to the photograph of Pant with Paine’s wife and kids. Vaughan took to his Twitter account to reply to the post.
