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

Virat Kohli-Tim Paine, Perth

Virat Kohli made his presence felt in Perth as he scored a brilliant 123 to reduce the deficit on day 3 of the Test but still conceded a lead of 40-off in the first innings.

Australia kicked off day 4 with a huge 175 runs lead with left-handed batsman Usman Khawaja and skipper Tim Paine looking solid the crease. With the pair set, Kohli tried to heat things up by exchanging some words with Paine.

Indians appealed in unision to send Paine back but the umpire was not convinced about the wicket and Kohli decided against reviewing it. But, he ensured that he reminded Paine about it as he went to him and said, "If he messes this up it is 2-0 and who’s going to talk then?" for which the Aussie skipper came up with a hilarious reply saying, "You’ve got to bat first big head." as Kohli went back to his fielding position.

Later, Kohli tried to come in Paine's path when the latter was taking a single whether it is unclear whether Kohli intended it or it was just a coincidence. Things were getting heated up and the umpires interfered and brought things under control.
