Rishabh Pant explored Adelaide city on Indian team's off day.
Rishabh Pant is one of the most expressive cricketers in the world today. Everyone remembers his ‘babysitter’ episode with Tim Paine when India last toured Australia.
The "babysitter" title was born out of a humorous exchange between Pant and Paine during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
Paine had quipped, "Tell you what, big MS is back in the one-day squad. We might get him [Pant] down to the Hurricanes. Do you babysit? I can take my wife to the movies one night, you can look after the kids."
Pant then posed for a picture with Paine's children, playfully embracing his new babysitting role.
Meanwhile, when the Adelaide Test ended early, Indian team members had some free time, and Rishabh Pant was seen playing hide-and-seek with a toddler sitting in a pram. Pant's antics seemed to amuse the little one.
Pant even held and gently tickled the child, who appeared to enjoy his company. Pant's excellent interaction with children once again demonstrated why he got the beloved nickname "best babysitter."

In another encounter, Rishabh Pant met a fan during his day out. The fan was thrilled to meet the India cricketer and attempted to take a selfie video.
Noticing the camera lens smudged, Pant quipped, “Clean the camera from the front.” The fan promptly wiped the lens with his fingers and proceeded to record the cherished moment, expressing his joy, “Nice to meet you, man!”
