While speaking to the players inside dressing room, Ricky Ponting told Kuldeep Yadav to never say sorry to him, instead up his game in the cricket field.  

“Kuldeep, where are you mate? Disappointed last game, weren’t you? You actually said sorry to me at the end of the game. So, mate, don’t you ever say sorry to me or anyone for what happens on the cricket field. What I want you to do is bounce back strong and today with 2/23 off four, it was an outstanding spell of bowling. Well done,” Ponting said.
