Virat Kohli reveals why Ishant Sharma was angry after winning the first Test match against Australia

When rest of the Indian team rejoiced pacer Ishant Sharma was not as happy as everyone. The reason? He'd bowled a no-ball which, for a tense time, he thought might have cost India a Test win against Australia. Chasing 323, the Australians were 9-279 in the first Test on Monday when a Sharma ball thundered into the pads of Nathan Lyon.

Australia went on to add dozen more runs before Ashwin got the last man out. In a post-match press conference Indian skipper Virat Kohli said, "Ishant is the most pissed off right now, We are all very happy celebrating but he was really, really angry with himself. I asked him why and he said 'you can't afford to bowl a no-ball, being the senior guy, having played so many games and in a crunch situation - and the umpire probably would have given that out'."
