The Australian skipper, Tim Paine was excited with the spell from Pat Cummins in which he picked 4-Indian batsmen Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. Then, he decided to troll the Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Rishabh Pant during the third day of the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne.

Team India had scored 443/7 in the first innings before declaring and they bundled out the Australians for just 151, thanks to Jasprit Bumrah’s 6-wicket haul. Despite having a lead of 292 runs, India decided to bat again to give a humongous target to the hosts. But, Cummins had other plans as he destroyed India’s top-order within no time. 

When Pant came out to bat, Paine decided to troll him in a classic manner. The former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni who was not included in the T20I squad against Australia, has been called to the ODI setup with Pant dropped from the ODI side.

Paine asked the youngster if he would be interested in playing for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League and it was caught on the stump mic. When Rishabh Pant was on strike, Paine said to his teammate, Aaron Finch who was at short leg.

The skipper said to Finch, “Tell you what, big MS is back in the one-day squad, we might get him (Pant) down to the Hurricanes, this bloke. We need a batter.” Replying to the same, Finch said, “Not if he keeps blocking them.”

Adding more to it, Paine said, “Fancy that, Panty? Surely, extend your little Aussie holiday. Beautiful town Hobart, too. We’ll get you a nice apartment on the waterfront. We’ll have him over for dinner. Can you babysit? I’ll take the wife to the movies one night, you’ll look after the kids.”
