Inzamam was not very happy with the Indian team after they appealed for obstructing the field of play in the first ODI in Peshawar.
Pakistan had a huge target to chase, with the match being at a crucial stage when Inzamam was given out.
"The Indian fielders appealed when the Peshawar match was in a crucial state. I would not have imagined Rahul Dravid and his team would do such a thing." Said the Pakistan captain.
He also stated that the umpires had no choice but to give him out since those were the rules of the game .
"In my role as the Pakistan captain I would say that the appeal from the Indian fielders was against the spirit of cricket. Certainly, there are several modes in which a batsman can be declared out, but many of them are not in the spirit of the game," Inzamam wrote in his column in The News.
Inzamam had said that he was unable to understand what the exact rules were since just a month ago he was given out against England trying to protect himself from the ball.
