Shock to Team India after victory, India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first Test against Australia in Nagpur. Jadeja was found to have breached Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to displaying conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.
New Delhi: India defeated Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the first match of the four-match Test series played in Nagpur. Team India’s fans and the team were celebrating this victory well that the ICC gave them a bad news. The ICC has imposed a fine of 25 per cent on Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The ICC found Jadeja guilty of Level-1 rule breaches and imposed this fine.
The ICC issued a statement giving information about this. The ICC said that Jadeja violated Article 2.20 of its Code of Conduct during the first Test match played in Nagpur.
This is about the 46th over of Australia’s first innings. On February 9, the first day of the match, Jadeja was seen applying cream on his finger. A video of Jadeja was revealed in which he is taking something from Mohammad Siraj and putting it on the finger of his left hand. For this reason, the Australian media called Jadeja a cheater, but the Indian team management told that Jadeja had a finger injury and was applying cream on his left hand. But it was given without the permission of the on-field umpires.
