‘Back to Babysitting’: Internet Pokes Fun at Pant on Ziva Video
Rishabh Pant was in the stands with MS Dhoni’s family during the ICC World Cup match between India and Pakistan.
Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant joined the Indian team as cover for injured Shikhar Dhawan at the ongoing ICC World Cup. And since he isn’t allowed access to the dressing room till the time the senior opener is not completely ruled out, the 21-year-old was in the stands at the Old Trafford during India’s clash against Pakistan on Sunday, 16 June.
Pant shared a video from the game on Instagram, in which he was seen with senior Indian wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni’s daughter Ziva. ‘Partners in crime,’ he wrote on the post.
The internet couldn’t help but remind Pant of his ‘Babysitter’ days from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia earlier this year.
During the Test series, Australian captain Paine had pulled Pant’s legs with a ‘request’ for him to babysit his kids after the end of the Test series. The young Indian cricketer had then become quite the internet sensation when his picture with the Paine family was released by Tim’s wife Bonnie along with the caption ‘Best babysitter’.
Here’s what users had to say to Pant after his latest post.
Ziva attended the highly-anticipated clash at Manchester with her mother Sakshi. She was also spotted hanging out with actor Saif Ali Khan.
Singer Rahul Vaidya, who was also present at the match, posted videos of the toddler on his Instagram page.
