Bishan Bedi not amused with Ishant Sharma mimicking Steve Smith
Virat Kohli and Steve Smith also engaged in banter.
The social media went into overdrive after Ishant Sharma made a peculiar face at rival captain Steve Smith but former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi is not quite amused at what many perceive as light-hearted banter.
Ishant's picture has been a source of multiple internet memes on a day when rival sides had a go at each other. Rival captains skipper Virat Kohli and Steve Smith also engaged in a war of words.
Bedi took to twitter to express his opinion. Never an advocate of sledging, Bedi in his own inimitable way termed making faces as ugly stuff.
"As it is verbal banters r bad enough-now they r getting 'facial' too-all very ugly stuff-Crkt cn do w/out!Let contest btw bat/ball flourish!"
