And, India's teenage sensation Prithvi Shaw then got into a heated verbal exchange with pacer Mohammad Siraj.
Siraj and Shaw were seen exchanging words in a video posted on Twitter. The incident happened during the ninth over of the second innings. Siraj was bowling his heart out and tested Shaw on numerous occasions. The former was seen going up to Shaw and saying a few things. Fans will hope it wasn't anything serious.
