Rishabh Pant, on the Day 4 of the Test, continued his banter against Tim Paine from behind the stumps and decided to take revenge from the Australian captain when he came out to bat by calling him 'The Temporary Captain'. Cricket fans flooded Twitter with their reactions on the same incident.

Oh, well!

Pant should not disgrace this sport by calling someone a temporary captain he should follow the moral ground as Paine by calling her a *dickhead*

Who can disagree?

Rishabh Pant and Tim Paine are two players who are soo good at funny sledging and equally poor in cricket too

Was the word "Temporary captain" too much ?

Break it down into two parts. He's just stating the fact.

Was "only knows talking" too much ?

Paine hasn't scored a century in tests.

Didn't he abuse?

Dissapointed that Ian Gould talked to Pant, not once but twice about his sledges to Paine. Pant was well within his rights to talk. Pant did not abuse or say anything wrong. Paine was NEVER repremainded by the Umpires. Double standards from Ian Gould.

Yasss!

Who needs trolls on Twitter when you can get Rishabh Pant live on the field?

Rishabh Pant seriously can't stop talking loudly when Paine's on strike. He's trying to give him a taste of his own medicine, and is doing a pretty bad job at that. Okay, shrill is the word.
— Romantic Romio (@_Confusedguy_)

LOL!

Rishabh Pant is making the commentators earn easy money, as they don't have to speak a word when he is talking behind the stumps. 😉
