While cricket lovers in India find it hard to miss any ball being played in the crucial final Test match of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, they had a funny moment on Monday when an Indian wicket-keeper was caught singing the "Spiderman" song behind the stumps.
Rishabh Pant was actually singing the Indian version of the Spiderman song during the fourth day of the Brisbane Test match.
A video of the act going viral shows the keeper was once again chirping behind the stumps and was heard saying, “Aise web fenko, web (Throw a web)”.
Then he was heard singing "Spiderman, Spiderman tune churaya mere dil ka chain" which means "Oh..Spiderman! You have stolen my heart's peace. After watching your stunts, I have become your diehard fan".
