With the India and Australia series all set to begin, the banter and war-of-words have also started. Virender Sehwag had turned into a babysitter for a TV commercial recently and the video had grabbed the attention of many including Australian opener Matthew Hayden.
The video is making references to the Rishabh Pant-Tim Paine banter during India's recent tour of Australia. Earlier, Hayden had tweeted to warn Sehwag saying, “#BeWarned Never take Aussie’s for a joke Viru Boy @virendersehwag @StarSportsIndia Just remember who’s baby sitting the #WorldCup trophy.”

However, a new video has made its way featuring Hayden who is giving his counter to Sehwag.
What makes the video extremely hilarious is that the former Aussie player is speaking in Hindi saying, “Viru Paaji, Australians ko bacha mat samajhna’. (It literally means do not take Australians as kids.)
