Apart from sledging other team players, Australian players sledged their own teammate Marnus Labuschagne in the 3rd Test vs India.
In the 5th day of the 3rd Test match, Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine makes an attempt to sledge R Ashwin in order to distract him. The whole incident becomes viral when the conversation has been captured by the mic stump.
In addition to this Steve Smith rubbed the Rishabh Pant’s batsman mark. Apart from these players sledging Australian fans racially abused Siraj and Bumrah in the 3rd day of the same test match.

“That’s gonna rag with the new rocker,” he said. “That’s gonna rag with the new ball Garry [Lyon]. You’re gonna get both wickets here, Garry.”

This is when the Aussie fielders had had enough and said, “Shut up Marnus.
“Don’t leave it in the sheds, Marnus” was another comment. The incident happened after Nathan Lyon managed to break the Pujara-Pant partnership.
“It’s amazing when you get a wicket, Painey, and Marnus starts talking again,” said a close-in fielder. “You’ve got to be consistent Marnus, talk all day!”
