2. Rishabh Pant to Tim Paine – temporary captain
That incident happened on the very next day (day four of Melbourne Test) of Australian captain and wicketkeeper Tim Paine’s “Babysit” comment to Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.
This time, Pant said, “We’ve got a special guest today…..have you heard of a temporary captain ever? You don’t need anything to get him out boys. He loves to talk, that’s the only thing he can do, only talking talking.”
Though Paine didn’t react on that comment and continued his focus on the game, the on-field umpire Ian Gould warned Pant for his comments as the umpire felt that it was not a cool thing.
It was Rishabh Pant's turn for some fun on the stump mic today… #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/RS8I6kI55f
