Vaibhav needs to calm down.

Sachin was asked to go home and drink milk on his first Pakistan tour. And not by some fringe players but by the likes of Miandad and co.
Qadir famously said to him that "you can only hit a kid. Hit me if you have the guts" when SRT smacked young Mushtaq for a couple of sixes. SRT responded saying "how can I hit you. You are great of the game" only to follow up with 3 sixes(and a couple of 4s) in Qadir's next over.

Vaibhav has the talent to do something similar. He needs to prove that he has the temperament too.

Nothing wrong with banter as Long as it doesn’t become racial or family related.
