Rishabh Pant on Friday became the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a century on Australian soil. Pant's 159 not-out knock was also the highest by an Asian wicket-keeper.
The Bharat Army, Indian fans following their team made a song for Rishabh Pant while he was batting. The song took a dig at Australian skipper Tim Paine's dig, who asked Pant to babysit his kids.
"We've got Pant. Rishab Pant. I just don't think you'll understand. He'll hit you for a six. He'll babysit your kids. We've got Rishab Pant," the lyrics said.
