The confrontation began with Jaiswal directing a stinging sledge at Starc, sparking a heated exchange between the two players.

At the time, India was comfortably placed at 72-0 with a lead of 118 runs. Jaiswal added fuel to the fire by whipping a straight ball from Starc high over mid-wicket for four. This aggressive shot clearly fired up the Australian fast bowler.

Starc, determined to respond, beat Jaiswal's bat, causing him to shake his head and chuckle. Not one to back down, Jaiswal shook his head in return, signaling his readiness to take on the challenge.

In the very next ball, Jaiswal executed a textbook backfoot defensive shot, which drew a chirp from Starc.

Standing his ground firmly, Jaiswal hit back verbally, stating, "It's coming too slow," according to Fox Cricket.

The intense exchange between Jaiswal and Starc added an extra layer of excitement to the series, highlighting the competitive spirit and resilience of both players.
