Indian cricket team's Spiderman, Rishabh Pant has returned, this time spreading his web. Pant, who became a fan-favourite last month during the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar series at the Gabba, was heard singing the famous 'Spiderman Spiderman' song.
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.
However, he didn't need the whole team to throw the web as he did it himself. On Friday, the off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar posted a video where Rishabh can be seen crawling like a Spiderman and presents his left hand in a way imitating the Spiderman's web throwing, while the song plays in the background.
