New Delhi: Ace India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin reacted strongly to the stone thrown at the Australian team bus in Guwahati while returning to hotel after defeating India in the second T20I match on Tuesday.
In his twitter post, the 31-year-old wrote, "The stone thrown at the Aussie team bus shows us in bad light, let's all act more responsibly. A vast majority of us are capable of that."

Aussie opener Aaron Finch took to Twitter to post a picture of the broken window pane. The caption read, "Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!"

On Tuesday, Australia registered their first T20I victory against India on Indian soil with an eight-wicket win in Guwahati to level the three-match series 1-1.
Left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff, playing only his second T20I for Australia, ripped India's top order apart with a spell of 4/21.
Chasing a modest target of 119 runs, Moises Henriques (62*) and Travis Head (48*) batted beautifully to set up the win with 4.3 overs to spare.
It was Australia's first T20I win against India, snapping a seven-match losing run spread across five years.
The series decider will be played on Friday (October 13) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad.
