Rishabh Pant vs Tim Paine, BGT 2018-19
The 2018-19 BGT was a special one for every Indian fan as this was India’s first-ever Test series win down under. Apart from him, the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is also known for a banter between Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and the stand-in Australia skipper Tim Paine. After Paine teased Pant with his comments while batting, the Indian keeper came with befitting reply behind the stumps as he said, “Have you heard the word temporary captain ever? You [Jadeja] don’t need anything to get him out. Come on lads.” However, it was only a friendly banter and Rishabh Pant also paid a visit to Tim Paine’s house and shared a picture with his wife and kids.
