NEW DELHI: The ongoing four-match Test series between India and Australia has reached its fag end but it seems the hostilities between the two sides are not going to get over soon.

Video clips have emerged on the third day of the fourth Test at Dharamsala that showed Aussie skipper Steve Smith allegedly abusing Indian opener Murali Vijay.

The incident took place in the 54th over of the Australian second innings when Josh Hazlewood was caught sharply in the gully region by Vijay off Ravichandran Ashwin and the Indian fielders had started celebrating the dismissal of the batsman.

But the on-field umpires were not fully sure of Vijay taking the catch cleanly and referred it to the third umpire who ruled in favour of Hazlewood.

Having already made his way into the dressing room to pad up to open the Indian innings, Vijay had to come back on to the field after third umpire's decision and take his position.

Meanwhile, Smith was caught on the camera saying some abusive words for Vijay when Indian fielders were taking their positions. However, Australia innings was wrapped up two balls later when Ashwin trapped Hazlewood in front for duck.

Earlier in the day, Australian wicketkeeper Matthew Wade got into an argument with Ravindra Jadeja after Glenn Maxwell's dismissal.

It happened in the 33rd over after Maxwell was adjudged LBW by South African umpire Marais Erasmus.

Maxwell predictably took a DRS, which remained umpire's call even though it looked tight in TV replays.

As Maxwell started walking, an angry Wade tried to approach the melee of Indian players but Ravichandran Ashwin came in between and held back the Aussie keeper.

Wade was having an argument with Jadeja, who seemed equally involved before another player pulled him aside.
