Twitter Calls KL Rahul A Better Babysitter; Takes A Dig At Rishabh Pant

Team India cricketer KL Rahul has been in the best of form. He can do no wrong at present be with the bat or with the wicket-keeping gloves on. Recently, he posted a picture of him babysitting a child and the Twitter can stop but calling him a better babysitter than the wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant.

The batsman from Karnataka has brought a transformation to his game in limited-overs cricket. From being a batsman to become a wicket-keeper batsman to give India the luxury to play an extra bowler or batsman, KL Rahul has come a long way. Since Rishabh Pant suffered a head injury during the ODIs against Australia, Rahul has stood tall to his potential delivering the goods for his side.

In eight white-ball outings during the ongoing tour of New Zealand, Rahul scored 428 runs at an average of 71.33 and a strike rate of 125.88 including one century and three half-centuries. While he batted at the top-order in the T20Is, the flamboyant batsman adjusted well in the middle-order in the ODIs. With the emergence of Rahul, it is unlikely that Rishabh Pant will return to the limited-overs side anytime soon.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul is now having some good time away from the game as he is not a part of the Test side. Recently, he posted a picture of a baby child on his arms on social media site Twitter which went viral in split seconds.

 

Initially, the fans and followers found the images adorable, a section of fans posted hilariously comments with respect to KL Rahul snatching another department from Pant. Notably, Pant had garnered immense interest post his babysitting stint with Australia Test captain Tim Paine’s kids last year when India toured down under.
