It seemed as if he was expecting some action from the ICC on the Indian team. Although he did not say anything clearly, he blamed ICC through gestures. Regarding the celebration of the Indian team, he said that 'it was clearly according to the rules of the game. That's why no charges have been imposed. I have left it to the ICC and match referee Andy Pycroft. If they think it was okay then I think that's the standard for us to play.
