Ther ‘war of words’ between Tim Paine and Rishabh Pant is something that might not end soon. The two who are constantly involved in sledging banter during the ongoing four-Test series between India and Australia have taken the words volley out of the pitch.
Tim Paine tried to rile up India's wicketkeeper-batsman and offered him to babysit at his place. In return to the statement, Pant was spotted with Paine's wife and kids on the New Year's Day in Sydney.
Tim Paine's wife, Bonnnie Paine posted a photo of them on Instagram and captioned it: "Best babysitter".

*Challenge accepted!*
