Dubai, Sept 5: India opener KL Rahul was on Sunday fined 15 per cent of his match fee for showing dissent at the umpire’s decision when he was adjudged caught behind following a DRS review on the third day of the fourth Test against England in London.
The incident occurred in the 34th over of India’s second innings on Saturday. Rahul scored a patient 46 off 101 balls before being caught off James Anderson.
It was a breach of Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
“Rahul was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision during an International Match,” an ICC release said.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Rahul, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.(PTI)
