Former Australia cricketers Mark Waugh and Shane Warne were not happy with Rishabh Pant's chirping behind the stumps while the delivery was being bowled. They criticized Pant on-air during the Day 1 of the fourth Test at the Gabba.

Pant was having banter with Matthew Wade before the Tea break. Wade had to stop and wait for the India wicket-keeper to get done with his chatter before facing Washington Sundar.

The Australia batsman wasn't able to focus because of Pant and the commentators told him to 'zip it' and allow the batsman to concentrate.

"I don‘t have a problem with the keeper talking but not when the bowler is about to bowl. You’ve got to zip it then,” Waugh said on-air for Fox Sports. "I think the umpire has got to take some control in these situations. It's out of the players hands, the umpires have got to control the game out there. If it starts getting too much or it's holding up play you've got to get the standards right out there if you're umpiring," he added.

Warne agreed with Waugh's comment and said Pant should make sure he stays silent when the batsman is about to face the bowler. “I‘m a bit with you Jun (Waugh) I don’t mind the encouraging and Rishabh Pant has a smile on his face, he’s having a laugh with his teammates around the bat. But if the bowler is starting to come in, that’s the time to just zip it and let the batsman concentrate,” Warne said.
