Almost everyone could predict that the match was heading towards a draw. Hence, in Australia's second innings, Indian captain Rohit Sharma decided to hand the ball to Cheteshwar Pujara, who was present in the team as a specialist batter. Reacting to Pujara's bowling, Ashwin took to X and wrote:
"Main kya karu? Job chod du?" (What should I do? Should I leave my job?)
Pujara hilariously replied to Ashwin, saying that it was his way of giving it back to the off-spinner for going out to bat at number three earlier in the Nagpur Test of the series.
