"I think somebody threw the ball inside on Siraj so he was upset. Yes, you can say whatever you are going to chant but don't throw things on the fielders and all those things. It is not good for cricket," explained India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant after the end of play on the first day of the third Test here at Headingley.

Skipper Virat Kohli was seen in a video clip asking Rahul to throw the corks back to the crowd during the Test at Lord's.

It remains to be seen if the Indian side will lodge an official complaint.
