Mitchell Starc-Rishabh Pant, Melbourne
Rishabh Pant was batting well towards the end of day 2 as India were trying to get some quick runs on the board before declaring their innings. The day already saw Tim Paine involving in a funny banter with Rohit Sharma but towards the end of the day, things turned ugly as Mitchell Starc was involved in a verbal argument with Rishabh Pant.
The Aussie pacer was visibly frustrated with Pant as the youngster ran on the "danger area" of the pitch. He did not say anything the first time it happened but let his frustration out when Pant did it the second time. "He’s f***ing done it again mate,” shouted Starc at the umpire. He then looked back at Pant and said, “How dumb are ya?” before bowling a 148 kmph bouncer at him.
