“Usne bola ‘haan theek hai’ to maine bola ‘Acha theek hai ab ball daal deta hoon.’ Aap logo ne kuch aur interpret kar liya hoga. I think udhar words nahi the to maybe miscommunication ho gaya hoga. (He said ‘Yes, it’s fine?’ to which I said ‘Now, I will bowl’. You guys must have interpreted it some thing else. I think the lack of words may have caused some miscommunication).”

“Incidents like these happen when the game is close. We were wasting some time, they were trying to do it as well. We were trying to put some pressure.”

“But, that’s not the best example. I am not angry all the time but sometimes, it happens,” he added.
