NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan on Saturday faced consequences for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during the team's game against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
As a result of his actions, Kishan received a reprimand and was penalized with a fine amounting to 10 per cent of his match fees.
The incident occurred during the match between the two teams in the nation's capital.
"Kishan committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL's Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee's sanction," an IPL statement read.
"For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding."
Article 2.2 includes any action(s) outside the course of normal cricket actions, such as hitting or kicking the wickets and any action(s) which deliberately (i.e. intentionally), recklessly or negligently (in either case even if accidental) results in damage to the advertising boards, boundary fences, dressing room doors, mirrors, windows and other fixtures and fittings.
It also includes abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match, even though the IPL organisers didn't clarify Kishan's offence.
