Steve Smith has dismissed Virat Kohli's assertion Australia repeatedly looked for assistance when deciding to review umpire decisions in the second Test in Bangalore, labelling the suggestion as "wrong".
Kohli accused Australia of "crossing the line" in the Bangalore Test, which India won by 75 runs to level the series at 1-1, in the wake of an incident involving Smith when he was given out LBW for 28 during Australia's second innings.
The dismissal of Smith came off a delivery by paceman Umesh Yadav that stayed low and struck him above his left boot in front of middle stump.
Smith and batting partner Peter Handscomb were then caught looking towards the area outside Australia's dressing room, where television replays can be seen, while discussing whether to review the verdict, prompting umpire Nigel Llong to intervene.
Kohli ran towards Smith to let him know of his displeasure, as Llong sent him on his way with the batsman walking towards the changing rooms amid boos from the crowd.
Smith described his actions at the time as a "brain fade" and used the same description when asked about the incident on the eve of the third Test in Ranchi.
But he refuted Kohli's claim he saw Australia look to the players' area on more than one occasion, believing the India captain was out of line.
"I was a little bit disappointed by those comments," Smith told Grandstand.
"I know from my point of view our team doesn't do what he said. It was a one-off, it was a brain fade and I made a mistake. I think he was wrong."
Smith admitted he was a "little bit" surprised by Kohli's reaction but had already moved on from the controversy.
"I've let that go now, it's happened it's the past and I can't control that," said Smith, who along with Kohli escaped sanction from the International Cricket Council (ICC) relating to the incident.
"I have to move forward."
Smith and Kohli are to meet with ICC match referee Richie Richardson but the Australia skipper does not expect on-field hostilities to subside in Ranchi.
"I think the last Test match was quite fiery and [there] was plenty going on so you expect that with Australia and India, it's always a fiercely contested rivalry," he said.
"They are going to have a few things to say and from my point of view this Test match is about playing on our skill and not letting emotion get in the way of anything."
Australia is yet to decide on its XI for the Ranchi Test starting on Thursday, with Pat Cummins in line to make his first appearance in the five-day arena since his debut in 2011.
Cummins has flown over to India to replace the injured Mitchell Starc (foot), while all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has also been drafted into the tour squad after Mitchell Marsh returned to Australia with a shoulder injury.
