#4 Rishabh Pant hilariously gives it back to Tim Paine

Pant and Paine

The sledging between Rishabh Pant and Tim Paine does not seem to stop. After Paine's comments on-field yesterday, Pant did not hold back when Paine came out to bat today.

He referred to Paine as the "temporary captain" and even went on to say that the only thing he knows how to do is talk.

"We have got a special guest here. Have you heard the word temporary captain ever?" Pant asked Mayank Agarwal while Paine was at the crease.

Shortly after that, he instructed the bowler Ravindra Jadeja as well on how to bowl to him.

"You 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," said Pant.
