After the India wicketkeeper makes an audacious prediction regarding the IND against AUS Test, Mark Waugh and Dinesh Karthik engage in a live on-screen brawl.

Dinesh Karthik said, “Well, there was just one there in India, that averaged 60.
Mark Waugh cites “class player” Rohit Sharma, “world-class” Virat Kohli, and “Tor in the side.”
Steve Waugh, Mark’s brother, and a former Australia captain criticized the squad selection earlier in the day for the unexpected exclusion of Travis Head, who in addition to his batting may have been a useful addition in terms of spin bowling.
