Apart from his swashbuckling batting, India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant also provides ample entertainment with his constant chirping and antics from behind the stumps. On Day 4 of the fourth and final Test match against Australia in Brisbane, Mohammed Siraj had just struck to remove the in-form Steve Smith after his half-century, and the score was at 197/5, with Tim Paine having just come into bat. With the series-decider hanging in the balance amid a tense contest, Pant was suddenly began singing the Hindi version of the “Spiderman” theme song.
