Description

The comments raised in Ref. [1] by Mishra et al aim at two papers contained in Ref. [2]. We show that those comments on Ref. [2] pointed out by Mishra et al in Ref.[1] are not relevant and the concept used in Ref.[2] is consistent and in compliance with the classical approximation of the transport coefficients [3]. We would also like to note that most of the comments in Ref. [1] were meant for light quarks, but are not even appropriate for heavy quarks.
