WATCH | Virat Kohli & Tim Paine Resume Verbal Duel; Umpire Issues Warning
Home > Sports newsDay 3 of the second Test between India and Australia ended with Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his Australian counterpart Tim Paine exchanging verbal blows.
The two captains clashed when Kohli took a jibe at the Aussie side having lost the first Test in Adelaide. However, Paine came up with a fitting reply, calling Kohli a "big head". Having engaged in a verbal battle late on day three of the second test, Australia and India's respective captains again squabbled during the morning session today.
On Day 4, the duo clashed again with on-field Chris Gaffaney needing to intervene to cool down the two captains.
Kohli squared up to Paine while the Australian was completing a run and stump microphones picked up Gaffaney demanding the two behave themselves. Thanks to a few good souls on the internet who have posted a transcript of the verbal exchange.
An increasingly fired-up Kohli pleaded his case to square-leg umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Former Australian paceman Mitchell Johnson revealed what Kohli was saying.
"Speaking to a couple of the boys, Virat was going to the umpire and telling the umpire that 'Tim Paine is talking to me. Can you tell him to stop?' That type of thing," Johnson told Fox Cricket.
