Matthew Wade and a handful of Indians were involved in an ugly verbal clash late on day three of the Test series decider in Dharamsala.
The flashpoint followed Glenn Maxwell's dismissal and unsuccessful review.
Wade marched over to India's celebratory huddle, apparently taking exception to something that was said.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who trapped Maxwell lbw, attempted to play peacemaker by shepherding Wade away from the row.
Tensions simmered temporarily when umpires Marais Erasmus and Ian Gould delivered separate lectures to two groups of Indian players.
However, Wade soon came face to face with Murali Vijay while officials were trying to restore order.
It led to schoolboy-like scenes, with Gould trying to get the attention of Erasmus to alert him to the new spotfire.
Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara appeared to be the chief antagonists. The umpires spoke with both fielders during the final drinks break on day three.
The entire four-Test series has been tense, including the final match.
Wade and Ravindra Jadeja swapped barbs during the latter's game-changing knock of 63 on Monday.
"You called me it. I just want to know what it is," Wade said after Jadeja addressed him in Hindi.
"I just want to know what it is, hello?
"We're alright, I'll get a selfie with him at the end of the game. We'll put it on Instagram."
Jadeja, according to Indian media outlets, quipped: "if you will start it...I will give it back to you".
