What's the Story?

The hilarious banter between Aussie skipper Tim Paine and Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant during the 3rd test match at Melbourne led to Pant babysitting Paine's kids. The picture of Rishabh Pant along with Paine's kids was shared by the Australian captain's wife Bonnie Paine which caught the attention of the entire cricket universe.

The Background

In the 3rd Test match between India and Australia, Tim Paine tried to sledge Rishabh Pant by asking him to play for the Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL because of MS Dhoni's return to the team. Paine further stated that Pant could enjoy a longer vacation in Australia and can babysit Paine's kids when him and his wife would go watch a movie.
