New Delhi, Mar 30: The ball tampering incident should not define Steve Smith and his two fallen team-mates, according to Indian batsman Rohit Sharma, who said images of the former Australia skipper being escorted at Johannesburg airport and his tearful media conference in Sydney "resonated" with him.
"The video of Steve Smith being escorted at the airport and his most recent press conference resonated with me. The spirit of the game is of utmost importance there's no denying that," Rohit wrote on his twitter handle.
The swashbuckling batsman added, "They made a mistake and they accepted it. It would be unfair of me to sit here and question the board's decision but they are great players and I don't think this should define them."
Spin great Shane Warne pointed to a picture of Smith being escorted by airport security in Johannesburg.
"This is disgraceful ! @stevesmith49 is not a criminal !!!!!" Warne had tweeted.
