Tim Paine-Murali Vijay, Perth

There was a lot of tension between Virat Kohli and his Australian counterpart Tim Paine in Perth. Virat Kohli's wicket was very crucial for Austalia in the fourth innings in which the visitors were chasing 287 to win the match.
Thankfully for Australia, Kohli nicked Nathan Lyon to Usman Khawaja at first slip for 17 off 40 balls to leave India reeling at 48 for 3. That's when Tim Paine got his banter underway and his first shot was at Murali Vijay targetting Virat Kohli.
While Vijay was preparing to face a delivery from Lyon, Paine was heard saying, “Murali, I know he’s your captain but you can’t seriously like him? You can’t seriously like the bloke.”
