Following Team India's comeback series win over Australia in the just concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took to Twitter and took a dig at some of the former Australian cricketers and former England skipper Michael Vaughan over their comments on India's performance in the Test series. On Tuesday, India beat Australia by 3 wickets in the India vs Australia 4th Test in Brisbane with Rishabh Pant going onto play a match-winning knock after been handed a lifeline by Australian skipper Tim Paine. Pant's unbeaten knock of 89 runs combined with Shubman Gill's 91 runs and Cheteshwar Pujara's 52 runs handed India a victory in a nail-biting contest.

India vs Australia 4th Test: R Ashwin's wife trolls Tim Paine 

Following India's victory in Brisbane, R Ashwin's wife Prithi Ashwin took a jibe at Australian skipper Tim Paine too.  Prithi Ashwin took this opportunity to get back at the Australian captain for his comments with her post on the micro-blogging site. She apparently taunted the Australian cricketer for his 'Gabba' jibe. During the Sydney Test, Paine tried to get under the skin of R Ashwin and attempted to sledge the cricketer. The wicketkeeper was seen hurling abuses at the star spinner, and also arrogantly invited him for the final Test at Gabba.
