The ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India had has been witnessing some banters between the two sides. From Tim Paine and Virat Kohli to Tim Paine and Rohit Sharma, the focus has now shifted to another friendly conversation captured between Nathan Lyon and Rishabh Pant.

Pant has been trying to get into the ears of the Australian batsmen since the first Test, having a go at the Australian batsmen by trying to divert their attention. The young gloveman had a conversation with the off-spinner which was caught on the stump mic wherein Pant was provoking Lyon to give his wicket so that he doesn’t have to come on day 5.

The GOAT also replied to him in a friendly manner, continuing the conversation. Rishabh was quoted as saying “Come on Gary. You don’t want to come tomorrow for nothing.” To which the 31-year old chuckled and said, “I can’t even understand what you’re saying, mate. I like you too Rishabh.”

For Day 5, there is also a rain forecast but India will be hoping for some time of play to clean the tail lenders to secure a formidable 2-1 series lead with one to play.

Australia crashed to 151 in their first innings, having conceded a lead of 292.
