Mumbai Indians' wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been reprimanded and fined 10 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Saturday.
The incident occurred during Match 43 of the IPL. Kishan admitted to the offense, accepting the Match Referee's decision as final and binding. Kishan had gotten out just 20 (14) while the Mumbai Indians were trying to chase 258 runs and lost the match by 10 runs.
The board stated that the 25-year-old wicketkeeper-batter has committed a “Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL's Code of Conduct”.
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.”
