Rishabh Pant and Tim Paine’s epic banter during the 3rd Test between India and Australia at Melbourne has escalated a long way from behind the stumps. While it started with Paine asking Pant to babysit his kids when he takes his wife for a movie, the Indian wicketkeeper hit back at the Aussie skipper by taunting him as a ‘temporary captain’.
However, keeping aside their on-field mockeries, Rishabh Pant gave a new twist to the story when he actually turned babysitter for Paine’s kids. The picture which was uploaded by the Aussie’s wife, gave us a hint of a possible bromance between the two cricketers.
Though Pant and Paine have given a bit of rest to their sledging, Indian fans seem to be in no mood to stop the banter.
Pouncing on the opportunity provided by Rishab Pant’s gutsy display of batting on Day 2 of the Sydney Test, Indian fans came up with a brilliant chant to rub salt into skipper Tim Paine’s wounds. Their teasing words went like
We’ve got Pant
Rishab Pant
I just don’t think you’ll understand
He’ll hit you for a six
He’ll babysit your kids
We’ve got Rishab Pant
Rishabh Pant completed a magnificent ton on the second day’s play to steer India across the 500 run mark. His mammoth score of an unbeaten 159 played perfect cushion to Pujara’s 193 run stand and successfully put India at the pole position.
Here is the video of Indian fans chanting for Rishabh Pant:
As the song echoed through the stands, it gave fans from both the countries a moment to laugh at. And hence, the reactions.

That's not bad, and certainly a big improvement on "Good luck India."

Adding to Paine’s misery, came the memes.
