The BCCI has filed an official complaint with the ICC against Australia in relation to the DRS controversy in the Bengaluru Test.
This comes a day after the ICC said no action would be taken against any of the players in the matter, and advised the teams to “focus their energies on the third Test in Ranchi next week”.
The incident occured on the final day of the Test, when Australia captain Steven Smith looked towards the dressing room after having chatted with non-striker Peter Handscomb when given out lbw in a tense chase, apparently for clues on whether to review the call or not. Umpire Nigel Llong intervened immediately, and sent Smith on his way. In his post-match conference, Smith put his actions down to a “brain fade”. India captain Virat Kohi disagreed with that, saying Australia took help from their dressing room on at least three occasions before making their mind up on DRS reviews in the Test. Kohli said he had made the umpires aware of the matter on two occasions before the third one played out in full view.
