Dharamsala: Australia skipper Steven Smith said that he was disappointed with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for uploading a video on Day Three of the fourth Test which showed Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade continuously sledging Ravindra Jadeja.


Smith reckoned such banter is common in international sport. "I was a bit disappointed that the BCCI sifts through archives to find a conversation in the field that was happening between Matty and Jadeja. It's happened between both sides throughout the series, so the fact that they have done that to us is pretty disappointing," said Smith.


Kohli meanwhile, was upset with Team Australia. When asked if he would still maintain what he had said before the series that he had quite a few friends in the Australian team, Kohli shot back: "No that has changed." After a brief pause he continued: "I thought that was the case but it has changed for sure. The thing I said before the first Test that has certainly changed and you won't hear me say tat ever again."

According to sources, while the on-field banter pertaining to the game was acceptable, the India captain was particularly upset when the Australians made fun of his injured shoulder, leaving a sour taste in his mouth that will take a long time to go away.
