#5 Warner asks Ishant about his bowling average
During the same Australia tour as the Varun Aaron incident, Warner managed to intimidate another Indian pace in Ishant Sharma. After Sharma completed his over, Warner had a few comments regarding his bowling average in Australia. This didnt go down well with Ishant, who repeatedly said, Dont get me angry, you wouldn't like it, to which Warner responded, maybe you can take some wickets and show me how angry you can get.
However, Ishant did get him out. During the entirety of the series, Warner had clashes with Virat Kohli, Varun Aaron and Ishant Sharma. It seems India is his favourite sledging hunting ground.
