The first Test between India and Australia is almost over. While India seem to be in the better position, it was nevertheless a tense battle. In the world of cricket, Australians are known for their game of sledging.
Puns and jabs at players have earned the Aussies crucial wickets. However, some even manage to come up with fitting responses time and again.
On day five of Adelaide Test India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant turned the tables and tried to get under the skin of Pat Cummins, who was batting with skipper Tim Paine at the non-striker end. Considering India in a good position, Pant thought it would be funny to take some jabs. And oh boy he did!
"Come on Pat - you're not putting the bad ball away!," Pant continued to say for the entire duration of an over. "Tough to play here," he added.
While some were amused by Pant's behind-the-stumps chatter, others thought it was uncalled for. Watch it for yourself to decide.

For god's sake shut the stump microphone and spare us from Rishabh Pant. This guy is just annoying. Wish they could tape his mouth #AusvInd
