India's young wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant passed a comment from behind the wickets which might have irked the Australians. When playing against Aussies, a bit of banter is no harm. Pant tried to taunt one of the 'nice man' from Australia, Usman Khawaja.
Indian offie R Ashwin was in the middle of a productive spell when Pant tried to do his bit by provoking Aussies to make them lose their concentration.
Not too long ago, in fact, a couple of months back Khawaja had played a 524-minute knock, which is the second longest in the fourth innings in Test history.
But for Pant, no one can be like Cheteshwar Pujara. Pujara stood up alone for India in the first innings and scored 123 runs.
Trying to get under the skin of the Aussie batter, Pant said no other batsman can replicate Pujara. "Not everyone is Pujara here, lads," he said in the 30th over of the Australian innings.
Well, it turned out to be true as Khawaja was soon dismissed as he edged one behind the wicket off Ashwin on just 28.
"Everyone is not Pujara here" - Pant from behind the wickets! ????????
