When Rishabh Pant had called former India cricketer Virender Sehwag his inspiration last year on his birthday, he really meant it. Pant has a similar fearless batting style like Sehwag.

The youngster has been successful in making an impact with the bat and gradually setting an image of power hitter even though he is just in the initial phase of his career. Apart from batting, Pant is seeing Sehwag as his inspiration for babysitting. 

Star Sports has released a promo video of the ODI series between India and Australia. Sehwag can be seen babysitting the kids who are wearing Australian jersey.

The video refers to the on-field banter between Rishabh Pant and Tim Paine during the five-match Test series.

"Viru paaji showing me how to be better at cricket and babysitting an inspiration always!", Pant wrote on Twitter after watching the video. 

Pant might have liked the video but ex-Aussie cricketer Matthew Hayden was irked by the video. He had said, "#bewarned. Never take the Aussies for a joke Viru Boy, just remember who's babysitting the #worldcup trophy".
