India Captains wants ICC to enquire on DRS controversy.

Captains have called on ICC to investigate Australia captain Steve Smith surrounded allegations his team breached the rules of the game in order to use review (DRS) or not in the second test.

Virat Kohli Indian Skipper accused Smith of 'crossing the line' on day four of the Bangalore match on Tuesday when he was given out lbw and looked towards the players' area in the stands when deciding whether to review the verdict using the Decision Review System.

"It had been a one-off incident caused by a "brain fade" said Smith, but Kohli countered that it was not the only time it had happened and that he had complained to the match officials.

Sourav Ganguly, demanded ICC "take action".

"Action must be taken according to rules and laws of the game. If it's a ban it should be a ban because if the umpires themselves saw Smith infringing on DRS rules then they must report and take action. The umpires and Match referee must ensure this doesn't happen in future,".

Sunil Gavaskar asked International Cricket Council to investigate.

"I don't think that was in the spirit of the game. We have to see what the ICC and match referee do,"

"I have not seen other earlier incidents but I saw it clearly when Smith did that today, he was clearly gesturing to the dressing room."

Rules:

Players are not allowed to seek direction apart from conferring with the non-striker.

Paytm becomes title sponsor for Indian Cricket Team Jersey till 2019.

Star India current sponsors of Indian Cricket Team Jersey decided not to bid for sponsorship of jersey rights in next round  due to "lack of clarity" on the  cricket in future. Current deal will expire on March 2017 and BCCI is expected to take out tenders for sponsorship of the Indian team.

Uday Shankar, chairman and CEO of Star India, in his recent interview with Times of India, said

"We are very proud that our name is carried on the jersey of Team India. But given all the uncertainties, we have decided not to bid for it again. The commitments being asked for are too onerous without any clarity".

"Problem is that right now we do not see a consensual leadership in cricket. Currently, we have invested in cricket more than any other media company. Our investments in the game are to the tune of a few billion dollars. And hence the business risk is very high for us".

Star India is currently the jersey sponsor for the senior men’s, women’s and under-19 Indian cricket team.
