Mumbai Indians batsman Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard have been fined Saturday for asking a teammate to hunt a TV review in contravention of guidelines throughout an Indian Premier League match.
A video of the workforce dugout confirmed David and Pollard gesturing in the direction of batsman Suryakumar Yadav and urging him to take a review for a large ball throughout a game in opposition to Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Thursday.
David and Pollard have been discovered to have dedicated a Level 1 offence below the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which says a participant just isn’t allowed to “seek assistance from any person off the field of play in order to decide whether to request a referral to the TV Umpire”.
“David and Pollard were each fined 20 percent of their respective match fees. Both admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee’s sanction,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stated in a press launch.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who pulled off a slender win by 9 runs in Thursday’s match, are at present positioned seventh in the 10-team competitors.
