#4 Marcus Harris and Rishabh Pant
Pant was busy behind the stumps in the first Test and had some cheeky digs at the Australian batsmen. When Khawaja was batting, the Indian keeper was overheard on the stumps mic saying, “not everyone is Pujara".
In the second Test at Perth, he was on the receiving end of a chat from Aussie opener Marcus Harris on the final ball before stumps on day four.
Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari were trying to close out day four and Harris was not pleased with it.
Standing at silly mid-off, Marcus Harris walked closer to Rishabh Pant and said, “If you get out you can go and disco tonight. Good circuit on a Monday night in Perth.” It was one of the funniest sledges of the series so far.
