India's wicketkeeper batsman, who made the headlines at the SCG Test through his breaktaking counterattack on the final day of the match, is infamously popular for his on-field antics behind the stumps as well.
While his 'Come on Ash' has become a rage and his 'babysitting' conversations with skipper Tim Paine during the 2018 tour also grabbed the news, the ever-entertaining Pant was at it again on Monday on the fourth day of Brisbane Test.
When off-spinner Washington Sundar was bowling, Rishabh Pant shouted from behind the stumps when Paine came to strike and said, "Aise web phenko web (Throw a web like this)." After which he started singing the famous Indian Spiderman song, "Spiderman Spiderman" in the same tone, as it could be clearly heard from the stump mic.
