New Delhi: Apart from the grueling battle between bat and bowl, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru also witnessed epic theatrics as Ishant Sharma and Steve Smith exchanged animated facial expressions on Day 2 of 2nd Test between India and Australia.
Ishant, probably a little frustrated with his workload, resorted to mind games in an attempt to unsettle the Australian captain. (IND vs AUS, 2nd Test, Day 2 - As it happened | Scorecard)
Though Smith's reply itself confirmed how amused he was with the lanky Indian pacer's attempt, twitterati couldn't stop posting hilarious memes.
