Ashwin gives epic reply to Tim Paine Ashwin Paine ugly banter in
Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin gave it back to Australian captain Tim Paine, who was trying to sledge him and get into his nerves during India's second innings on Day 5 of the third Test in Sydney. Ashwin, who batted incredibly well to help India avoid a defeat in the Sydney Test, was clearly not having any of Paine's constant chatter from behind the stumps.
The incident happened during the final session of the Sydney Test on Day 5 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Ashwin, who displayed incredible resistance with the bat to keep India in the hunt along with Hanuma Vihari, decided to give it back to Paine after his sledging attempt.
In a clip of the banter between the duo that has now gone viral on social media, Paine can be heard telling Ashwin: "Can't wait to get you to the Gabba, Ash," - referring to India's reluctance to travel to Brisbane for the fourth Test due to the hard quarantine rules in the city.
Ashwin came up with a witty yet savage response for Paine and said he is waiting for the wicket-keeper batsman to come to India and that might be his final Test series. "Just like we wanna get you to India, may be your last series."
