Rishabh Pant and his love for cartoons is not something that has been a secret to anyone, especially after the Brisbane Test where the wicketkeeper-batsman was seen singing the Hindi version of 'Spiderman' theme song. Pant, India's hero of Gabba, took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal his liking for another famous cartoon character -- 'Tom'. Pant posted a picture of himself in which he can be seen wearing a t-shirt that had Tom's face printed on it. "How many of you have watched this cartoon? #17," Pant captioned the image." Soon after he posted the pic, Yuzvendra Chahal took a cheeky dig at the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan too joined Chahal in teasing Pant.
"I watch many time both you and Tom," Rashid said along with multiple laughing emojis.
In his last international outing, Pant played an unbeaten knock of 89 in the fourth innings in the Brisbane Test to steer India to a memorable series-clinching win.
Pant was adjudged player of the match for his match-winning knock that helped India win the four-match series 2-1 and retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
After a historic series win in Australia, India will now host England for four Tests, five Twenty20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals.
The tour will get underway with the Test series, starting on February 5.
