Mumbai Indians troll Aus Captain Tim Payne following his comment

Australian Skipper Tim Paine was caught teasing Indian batsman Rohit Sharma on the field during the second day of the third Test between India and Australia taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.

 

Paine was heard saying, "There is a toss-up between (Rajasthan) Royals and (Mumbai) Indians for me. If Rohit hits a six here, I am changing to Mumbai." Paine attempted to disturb Sharma's concentration but ended up failing hard.

 

Recently, franchise Mumbai Indians took a dig at Paine for trying to sledge war between the two teams. In a cheeky tweet, the franchise wrote, "If he (Paine) gets a hundred here, I will put in a word about him to my boss at Mumbai Indians and we'll buy him. Looks like he's a fan of Mumbai." - @ImRo45 Tim Paine: c Pant b Jadeja - 26 (67) #CricketMeriJaan #AUSvIND(sic)"
