Ishant Sharma Saturday took a jibe at the Australian media over a question on front-foot no balls today at the end of the day’s play.

Ishant was guilty of bowling a few no balls in the first Test, which escaped the on-field umpires’ attention. While his propensity to overstep denied India wickets on two occasions, the poor policing of front-foot slip-ups attracted the ire of the host nation.

“Maybe Australian media should answer the question. Not me. I have been playing cricket for so long. And these things happen. Because you are a human, you are bound to make a mistake. I was not worried about it at all,” Ishant said during the post-play press conference. — PTI
