Mumbai: On the eve of his 27th birthday, the Indian pacer Ishant Sharma was handed one-match suspension for behaviour for breaching the ICC code of conduct during the recently concluded Test against Sri Lana at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) ground in Colombo.
Ishant Sharma’s father Vijay Kumar and personal coach Shravan Kumar on Wednesday said that India’s 27-year- old pace-bowler was not so aggressive in early days of his career.
“Yes, what Ishant did on the field was not good. He has been rightly punished by the ICC. Ishant should have controlled his emotions,” said Ishant’s father Vijay Kumar, over telephone from Delhi.
“He was never so aggressive during his childhood days. Perhaps in the excitement they (the players) become overjoyed and cross the limit and in the heat of the moment lose temper also,” the senior Sharma added.
