4. Banter slurs between Ravichandran Ashwin & Tim Paine
This moment comes from the grounds of SCG again, former Australian captain Tim Paine sledged Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. In the fourth innings of the gruelling encounter, India faced a challenging 407-run target.
While Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari battled to salvage the game with tenacity, Paine attempted to break Ashwin's concentration by sledging. The exchange went with Tim Paine saying, "I can't wait to get you to the Gabba, Ash, I'll tell you what, woohoo". Ashwin responded, "Just like we wanna get you to India. That will be your last series". Overall, this indeed comes under the category of a serious-tone banter.
