Watching Hardik Pandya grow has been great fun: Harsha Bhogle


http://m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-videos/10893/watching-hardik-pandya-grow-has-been-great-fun-harsha-bhogle

"Watching Hardik Pandya grow": subject

Has been: main verb

Great fun: noun phrase subject complement.

Why have they used "has been" and not "is"?

Is "watching" a participle and grow a bare infinitive?

I could not decide the main verb.

Thanks
