Hyderabad: Australian great Shane Warne has come under the radar of Indian cricket enthusiasts after he questioned Thangarasu Natarajan's 'big no balls' during the fourth day of the 4th and final Test match at The Gabba on Monday.

While Speaking about Natrajan's no-ball, Warner, who is part of the commentary team, levelled some serious allegations against the left-arm pacer.

Natarajan bowled six no-balls during the first innings of Gabba Test and a couple more on the fourth day. And that was enough for Warne to allege Natrajan of spot-fixing, without uttering the words.

"Something that’s caught my eye when Natarajan was bowling. He’s bowled 7 no-balls & they’ve all been big ones. 5 of them have been off the first ball & they’re miles over. We’ve all bowled no-balls, but 5 of them off the 1st ball of an over is interesting,” Warne was heard saying on air.

Following Warne's remarks, fans lashed out at the 51-year-old leg-spinner for making such comments on air. Here is what Indian fans have to say about the incident.

T Natarajan made a remarkable debut for Ajinkya Rahane-led team India, bagging 3 wickets for 78 runs in the 1st innings. Although, the debutant went wicketless in Australia's second innings.
