In the last few years, the India-Australia rivalry has become the most exciting in the cricket world. There is no doubt that both the teams are among the best cricket teams in the world in all three formats of the game. Some memorable matches have also been played between the two teams. Whenever these two teams face each other, not only is the match of high quality, but there is also a lot of sledging between the players of both the teams. This kind of sharp banter between the players adds more life to the rivalry between these two teams. It is no less than a treat for the fans.
In the last few years, Australia has emerged as a team full of sledging players. But the surprising thing is that now Indian players are also not behind in this verbal war. Virat Kohli is considered as the most aggressive player on the field, but Australian players do not believe so.
Which Indian player sledges the most?
In a video released by Star Sports; Australian players (Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne) named Rishabh Pant in unison. During India's tour of Australia in 2018, Pant won the hearts of sports lovers in both India and Australia with his funny conversation with Tim Paine.
In this video, Pant said, "Nobody does this with planning. But I don't like it when someone does this, so I sledge politely. In the same clip, Pant told how the Australian Prime Minister recognized him through his sledging. Pant will be seen in action on October 16, when India will take on New Zealand in the first Test of the three-match series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
