ICC paid tribute to him with a twist to the Spiderman theme song lyrics
Rishabh Pant has been making headlines since Tuesday after his brilliant unbeaten knock of 89 saw India through to a historic win against Australia at the Gabba, sealing the Test series 2-1. However, it s not just his ability with the bat or his wicketkeeping skills that Pant is known for. A day before he took the Australian bowlers to the cleaners, he was in the news after being caught singing the lyrics to the Hindi version of the Spiderman theme song.

His glove-work has often attracted criticism but the Indian team firmly backs Rishabh Pant since he is a match-winner and an impact player on foreign soil, India head coach Ravi Shastri eulogised the young wicket-keeper after he shaped side s phenomenal win in the Brisbane Test. Pant (89 not out off 138 balls) held his nerves and batted with maturity to lead India to a historic three-wicket in the series-deciding fourth Test. We play Pant abroad because he is a match-winner. When he doesn t keep well, people criticize him but he can help you win matches like these. Had he stuck around for some time in Sydney (drawn third Test), he could have won us that game as well. He has been brilliant and that s why we back him, Shastri told official broadcaster Sony at the end of the match.
