India’s talented spinner Ravichandran Ashwin gave it back to the Australian skipper Tim Paine, who was trying to get into his nerves while trying to sledge him during India’s second innings on Day 5 of the ongoing third test match at Sydney Cricket Ground. Ashwin played an instrumental role to help India avoid a defeat in the Sydney Test.
The incident took place during the final session of the ongoing third Test match on Day. Ravichandran Ashwin displayed incredible resistance with the bat as he kept the hopes alive of millions of fans. He made sure to keep India in the hunt alongwith Hanuman Vihari. Ashwin did not just tackle the skilled bowlers but also the verbal banter started by the Australian skipper Tim Paine.
The video of the incident has been going viral on social media, where the banter can be heard clearly. It was Tim Paine, who started the banter and tried to bring Ashwin down. Taking a dig at India’s reluctance to travel to Brisbane for the fourth test due to the strict quarantine rules in the city, Paine said: “Can’t wait to get you to the Gabba, Ash,”.
Ashwin was quick to shut Tim Paine with a savage response. Ashwin said that he is waiting for the keeper-batsman to come to India and that might turn out to be his final Test series. He said:
“Just like we wanna get you to India, may be your last series.”
However, Paine didn’t remain silent, he came up with an abusive response for Ashwin as he tried to insult him by saying that “at least my my teammates like me, d**ckhead”
Here, check out the video:

This must be damn embarrassing for you to be the leader of the pack and be schooled at banter in your own backyard in a team which has a reputation of mic drop banters???

Mic drop moment by @ashwinravi99 – @tdpaine36 rattled! Then resorts to below the belt comments…and we blame the crowd! Seem like this contagious virus of launching insults at the visitors is widespread in Australia…really really poor hosts…

The irony being that Ashwin is probably far more popular in India right now than Paine is in Australia.

Ashwin will go down as the third best test spinner ever. Paine as the least successful Aussie test captain in decades. ?

Still Ashwin has centuries……
