The Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Rishabh Pant is known for his love for cartoons as it was evidently been seen during the recently concluded Gabbaa Test in Brisbane where the young gloveman was seen singing the Hindi version of ‘Spiderman’ theme song. Pant, India’s hero of Gabba, took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal his liking for another famous cartoon character — ‘Tom’.
Rishabh Pant uploaded an image of himself in which he can be seen wearing a t-shirt that had Tom’s face printed on it. Captioning the picture, Pant wrote: “How many of you have watched this cartoon? #17,” Pant captioned the image.” Soon after he posted the pic, Yuzvendra Chahal took a cheeky dig at the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Commenting on Pant’s image, Chahal wrote: “You or Tom bro?” Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan also decided to join Chahal in teasing Pant. With multiple laughing emojis, Rashid commented, “I watch many time both you and Tom”.
