Bangalore, Mar 5 (IBNS): There were some surprise moments during the second day of the second Test between India and Australia when pacer Ishant Sharma was involved in some banter with Australia skipper Steve Smith and opener Matt Renshaw during the early hours of the game.

He made faces and tried to tease the cricketers.

Smith and Renshaw also replied back by making faces.

Even, Indian skipper Virat Kohli could not stop himself from laughing at the special moments on the field.

Cricket Australia's official Twitter page posted: "There's plenty happening out there this morning! #INDvAUS."
