Ishant will thus miss India's first Test against South Africa at Mohali from November 5.

Sharma was charged under Article 2.1.7, which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match".
