Ishant lived up to the captain's expectations by maintaining pressure over Australian batters, though he failed to get any wickets.

It was after his consistently good bowling performance which failed to derive fruitful results to the tall speedster, he resorted to some mind games.

The Delhi-pacer indulged in an animated banter with Australian skipper Smith and his team mate Renshaw. Smith, who is a naturally aggressive player himself, too replied to Ishant's agression with an animated look.

It was a great display of Test cricket as experts as well as fans enjoyed the banter between players of both the sides.

Here's how the Twitterati reacted after watching exchange of expression between the players:
