Australia vs India 2018/19: Virender Sehwag Hails ''Babysitter'' Rishabh Pant On His Century

Perhaps, Rishabh Pant is pretty determined to leave his mark in the final Test match of a series in overseas Test tours. In England, he showed his brilliance in the final match of the series and once again in Australia, he is repeating the show. Meanwhile, the swashbuckling opening batsman Virender Sehwag showers words of praise on Pant in his unique way.

Rishabh Pant has scored the 2nd Test century of his career and also became the second highest run-getter of the series. He is still counting the runs to his name in the first innings at Sydney Cricket Ground with his stunning striking.

Meanwhile, Virender Sehwag took a dig at Australians by terming Babysitter Rishabh in his congratulatory tweet for his 2nd century. As usual, Virender Sehwag came up with a unique word by calling ”Pantastic”.

During the course, Rishabh Pant also surpassed quite a few records to his name. Earlier in the series, Pant entered the books for being involved in the most number of dismissals. Now, he became the only Asian wicketkeeper to score a hundred in Australia.

The previous best was Farkh Engineer, who scored 89 runs against Australia in 1967. And also, Rishabh Pant is the only Indian wicketkeeper to score a hundred in Australia and England.

Coming to the match status, India is pretty much in the driving seat with Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant knocked big tallies to their name. Perhaps, it might be pretty tough for Australians to make a comeback and save the series.
