Rishabh Pant shows off babysitting skills, bonds with Delhi Capitals teammates' kids in heartwarming video

NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter, has once again embraced his role as a 'babysitter,' but this time for his Delhi Capitals (DC) teammates. In a heartwarming video released by his IPL franchise, DC, Pant was captured engaging with the children of his teammates.

The video showcased Pant's playful interactions with David Warner's daughters and head coach Ricky Ponting's son. As the clip went viral on social media platforms, fans could hear the famous chant of Pant echoing in the background, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.

Throughout the video, Pant appeared to be in high spirits, thoroughly enjoying his conversations and interactions with the young ones. His genuine enthusiasm and joy were evident, highlighting his delight in being back in the IPL environment, surrounded by his teammates and their families.

During India's 2018 tour of Australia, Pant earned the nickname ‘babysitter’ from the Australian captain at the time, Tim Paine.

Paine attempted to mock Pant by asking if he would be interested in babysitting his children, implying that the return of MS Dhoni would prevent Pant's selection for the ODI team.

Later, Paine's wife shared an image on Instagram featuring Pant alongside their family. The post quickly gained traction on social media and became a memorable moment in cricket history.
