Watch: Ishant Sharma of Gujarat Titans exchanges words with DC's Ashutosh Sharma after being adjudged not out
Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer Ishant Sharma got involved in a war of words with Delhi Capitals' Ashutosh Sharma at the end of the nineteenth over of the first inning during the ongoing encounter between Gujarat & Delhi at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday afternoon, 19 April.
The incident took place in the over-break, ahead of the beginning of the 20th & final over of Capitals' innings.
It's worth noting that the 36-year-old veteran seamer was not happy after the umpire didn't give Ashutosh out. The fast bowler felt that the Delhi batter had knocked the ball behind to the keeper in the attempt of hitting the short pitched delivery for a hook shot to the leg side boundary.
But, the replays showed that the ball had not touched any part of Ashutosh's bat and in an attempt to cool the 36-year-old down, Ashutosh even pulled up his sleeve to show the spot where the ball had made contact with him.

Things got even more problematic for the Gujarat-based team as they were punished by the umpires for having a slow over-rate. Skipper Shubman Gill was not happy with the decision and he even argued with the umpires, citing the injury-delays.
The team's coach Ashish Nehra was also spotted giving a lot of signals & instructions from the Gujarat dugout as the home side brought Sherfane Rutherford on the field as the impact sub for Ishant
