Watch: All the hilarious banter and sledges from the India-Australia Test series

Rishabh Pant-Tim Paine, Melbourne

Rishabh Pant celebrates after taking the catch to dismiss Tim Paine

Pant was at the receiving end of a hilarious banter from Tim Paine on day 3 of the MCG Test and the 20-year-old gave it back in style the next day when Paine was facing Ravindra Jadeja as his team was chasing 399 to take a 2-1 lead.

Just like Paine, Pant started a conversation with the silly point fielder Mayank Agarwal and said, "we have got a special guest here. Have you heard the word temporary captain ever. You [Jadeja] don't need anything to get him out. Come on lads. He loves to talk, that's the only thing he can do. Only talking, talking."

It was Rishabh Pant's turn for some fun on the stump mic today... #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/RS8I6kI55f

After the over, the umpires had a chat with Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli and in a bid to calm things down in the middle.
