India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was caught on stump mic passing on advice to R Ashwin on the first day of the second Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Interestingly, Ashwin got the wicket of Matthew Wade on the next delivery.
Pant has come in the side replacing Wriddhiman Saha after the first Test. He is famous for the chatter behind the stumps, but this time he also guided the bowler apart from applauding him after a good delivery.

Before Wade got out, Pant was heard saying, "Andar hi rakhna, ye maarega (keep it at the stumps, he will go for a shot)". The Aussie batsman did try a shot on the next delivery and ended up top-edging it in the air.
Ravindra Jadeja caught the ball after a near collision with Shubman Gill and Australia lost their second wicket on 35 runs in the 13th over.
Usually, we have seen MS Dhoni passing on tips to his bowlers during his playing days for India. He used to constantly guide the spinners from behind the stumps.
