India's wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant was spotted enjoying his day out with a small kid in Adelaide, where he was 'babysitting.' A heartwarming video went viral on social media where Pant was playing hide and seek with the kid sitting on a pram. This babysitter term came into existence for Pant in the 2018-19 series, where Tim Paine was the captain of the Australian team.

Paine called him a 'babysitter' while Pant called him a 'temporary captain.' It was a fun banter between the two during the series where Pant played the extraordinary innings to help India secure the series. 

In the ongoing series, Pant hasn't been able to perform much. The main problem lies in the player's conversion rate. He has been scoring runs but has failed to play huge knocks in the series, which has been a concern for the team as well. Being in the middle order, Pant has to act quickly and score consistently. Nevertheless, there are three more games left, and the fans will hope to see a better comeback from him.

We're not there to survive: Harry Brook

England's player Harry Brook spoke about Rishabh Pant and how well he played in the previous game. Pant came forward and hit a boundary on the very first ball, which showed his courage. Pant is an exceptional player who has done well in Test cricket and will hope to show some great knocks in the upcoming games. 

"I don't know if you saw Pant last night run down the pitch first ball - to have that sort of courage to get off the mark first-ball is something that we have done exceptionally well over the last couple of years - We say it all the time - we're out there to score runs. We're not there to survive."
