"Viru paaji showing me how to be better at cricket and babysitting"- Rishabh Pant's 3 best replies on Twitter
Rishabh Pant is one of the rising stars of world cricket. The left-handed wicket-keeper batter has caught everyone's attention with his unique batting style. He has helped India perform better in their recent overseas Test matches by scoring big for the nation.
Indian cricket fans will never forget the way Rishabh Pant played a match-winning knock at the Gabba in Brisbane against Australia to end the hosts' unbeaten run. He also smashed a century against England in a Test at Edgbaston earlier this month.
Pant became one of the few players to lead their nation before turning 25 as he captained the Indian team in a five-match T20I series against South Africa earlier this year.
Apart from his on-field performances, Pant is also known for his sense of humor. While keeping the wickets, his hilarious comments have been caught on the stump mic on several occasions.
Rishabh Pant has not shied away from showing his sense of humor on social media as well. In this listicle, we will look at the three best replies and comments from Pant on Twitter.
#1 Virender Sehwag's lessons to Rishabh Pant

Viru paaji showing me how to be better at cricket and babysitting — an inspiration always! 🙌

Very few Indian batters have played aggressive shots consistently in Test matches. Rishabh Pant does that job for the team right now and, before him, it was Virender Sehwag who would scare the opposition bowlers with his attacking shots.
In 2019, when India hosted Australia for a five-match series, broadcaster Star Sports aired a commercial featuring Sehwag. The former Indian cricketer played a babysitter role for Australian kids.
The jibe was in connection with Tim Paine asking Pant to babysit his kids while the Aussie was out with his wife during the 2018/19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pant hilariously replied:

#2 Pant's chat with Munna Bhaiya
@divyenndu Hahahahaha nahi munna bhaiya yeh gaddi aap ki he hai
Mirzapur, on Amazon Prime, is one of the most popular Indian web series. Pant seems to be a big fan of the show as he captioned his recent Twitter post with a dialog from Mirzapur.
Quoting the character Munna Bhaiya, Pant wrote:
"Aur hum ek naya niyam add kar rahe hain, Mirzapur ki gaddi pe baithne wala kabhi bhi niyam badal sakta hai – Munna Bhaiya."

Actor Divyenndu, who played Munna Bhaiya in Mirzapur, replied to Pant with another reference to the show:
"Aap Yogya Hain."
Pant laughed and replied:
"Hahahahaha nahi munna bhaiya yeh gaddi aap ki he hai."
#3 Pant's tip to Gurpreet Singh Sandhu
@GurpreetGK Bhai @GurpreetGK that’s why I wear a helmets or cap while keeping 😉
With cameras around everywhere, never underestimate the use of a good hair gel or wax before hitting the field ! 😎😜
Last year, Indian goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu sought some advice from Rishabh Pant. Sandhu asked the keeper-batter how he manages his hair.
Gurpreet asked:
"Bhai @RishabhPant17 does your hair also go crazy like this when you are behind the wickets and you see the ball coming?"

Pant told him he wears helmets and caps for a reason. He also suggested using hair gel or wax.
