Ishant Sharma's Coach Blames Kohli, Shastri for his Aggression

Ishant Sharma's joy of helping Team India win their first Test series in Sri Lanka since 1993-94 was short lived after the lanky pacer, who turned 27 yesterday, was slapped with a one-Test ban on Tuesday following Virat Kohli & Co's 117-run win in the final Test in Colombo.

Ishant played a pivotal role in India's series victory, claiming 13 wickets in the series with eight of them coming in the final Test to clinch the series 2-1. However, in the process, Ishant crossed the line of aggression to attract match referee Andy Pycroft's attention.

As a result, he will miss the first Test against South Africa at Mohali in November
