Have you ever heard temporary captain – Rishabh Pant to Tim Paine

Rishabh Pant continuously chirped out saying that Tim Paine is the special guest and also a temporary captain. Further, he went on to say adding that Tim Paine is only a talking captain, who doesn’t know how to bat.

“Have you ever heard of a temporary captain, Mayank? Only thing Paine can do is talking, talking,” Pant was caught chirping by the stump microphone. We have got a special guest today. Have you ever heard the word ‘temporary captain?’ You don’t need anything to get him out,” he further added.

I can take my wife to the movies while you watch the kids,” Paine.
