With language not a barrier amongst the 2 neighboring countries, sledging is a given.  Back in 1992, More was given the wicket-keeping responsibilities for India. More, joined in the chatter from behind the stumps towards the Pakistani batsman. It escalated to a level where the Pakistan player started doing ‘bunny jumps’ on the pitch in front of More.
