The ongoing Test match series between Indian National Cricket Team and Australia at Melbourne has turned out to be a competitive one so far. Previously there was some heated conversation between Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his counterpart Tim Paine. Meanwhile, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has a habit of constant chirping from behind the stumps. Recently, he along with Paine has had some hilarious conversations at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
However, when Rishabh Pant was batting in the first innings, Tim Paine was constantly chirping behind the stumps. He even hurled some funny words when Rohit Sharma was in the middle. And now, it was Pant’s turn when Paine came to bat in the middle.

Pant came up with some interesting words
Moreover, Tim Paine said to Rohit Sharma that he would support Mumbai Indians (MI) if he can hit a six in the next edition of the cash-rich tournament. However, after that, Pant decided to give something back to the Aussies skipper when he came to bat during Australia’s second innings.
Rishabh’s Pant tactics eventually worked when Paine got out off Ravindra Jadeja’s delivery. The right-handed batsman had scored 26 runs from 67 balls with the help of four boundaries.

“We’ve got a special guest today, come on boys. Special appearance today boy, come on. No responsibility there from the captain. Running away, always running away. Too difficult, too difficult,” he said.
“Have you heard of the word, a ‘temporary captain’, ever? I am seeing it. You don’t need anything to get him out. He loves to talk, that’s the only thing he can do. Only talking, talking.” Rishabh Pant added.

They should institute a new award in Test Cricket. The 'Paine & Pant' award, to be given to the worst sledging performances every year. #AusvsIndia #Paine #Pant

Pant looks more natural at it, this early. Imagine the entertainment value he could bring as he gets more seasoned. Paine looks like a nice guy trying to be a bad ass #misfit
