Rishabh Pant Embraces ‘Babysitter’ Role for Delhi Capitals Teammates
Rishabh Pant, the enigmatic wicketkeeper-batter, has once again taken on the mantle of ‘babysitter,’ this time for his Delhi Capitals (DC) teammates. In a heartwarming video released by the IPL franchise, Pant was seen engaging with the children of his fellow players, bringing joy and laughter to the team environment.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, captures Pant’s playful interactions with David Warner’s daughters and head coach Ricky Ponting’s son. As the clip unfolds, the familiar chant of “Pant, Pant” can be heard in the background, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
Throughout the video, Pant exudes genuine enthusiasm and joy, highlighting his delight in being back in the IPL environment, surrounded by his teammates and their families. His infectious energy and playful spirit create a sense of camaraderie and warmth within the team.
Pant’s role as a ‘babysitter’ has become synonymous with his character both on and off the field. During India’s 2018 tour of Australia, he earned the nickname from then-Australian captain Tim Paine, who jokingly asked if Pant would be interested in babysitting his children.
However, the term has taken on a more positive connotation, representing Pant’s nurturing and caring nature. His interactions with the children of his teammates showcase his genuine love for the game and his desire to create a positive and supportive environment for everyone involved.
As the IPL season progresses, Pant’s ‘babysitter’ role is likely to continue, bringing smiles to the faces of his teammates and their families. His ability to balance his on-field brilliance with his off-field warmth and camaraderie makes him a true asset to the Delhi Capitals franchise.
