Matthew Hayden has warned Virender Sehwag and India about taking the Australian cricket team lightly as the two teams prepare to take on each other in a series in India, where two-Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) will be played, starting February 24.
Ahead of the tour
Virender Sehwag turned babysitter for a TV commercial about the series, making references to the Rishabh Pant-Tim Paine babysitting banter during India's tour of Australia.
In the advertisement for Star Sports, Sehwag can be seen with a bunch of kids wearing Australian jerseys, saying: "Jab hum Australia gaye the, toh unhone poocha tha babysitting karoge? Humne kahaa sabke sab aajaao. Zaroor karenge."
Now, former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden has reacted to the advertisement by making reference to Australia being the current World Cup holders.
"#BeWarned Never take Aussie's for a joke Viru Boy @virendersehwag @StarSportsIndia Just remember who's baby sitting the #WorldCup trophy," Hayden tweeted.
This babysitting anecdote began during the third day of the Boxing Day Test, when Australian captain and wicketkeeper
Paine asked Pant, who was batting then: "Do you babysit? I can take my wife to the movies while you watch the kids."
When Pant got the chance in the following innings, he referred to Paine as the "
temporary captain" and mocked him from behind the stumps.
