NEW DELHI: India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj had a ball thrown at him from the crowd, according to Rishabh Pant, which left the India captain Virat Kohli annoyed.

In the press conference following the first day’s play, Pant was asked why Kohli looked upset at what the crowd was saying. “I think, somebody threw a ball inside, at Siraj, so he [Kohli] was upset,” Pant said. “You can say whatever you want to chant, but don’t throw things at the fielders and all those things. It is not good for cricket, I guess.”
