Rohit Sharma fined 50% of match fee for showing dissent

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has been fined 50% of his match fee for showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during their IPL encounter against Rising Pune Supergiant in Mumbai.

The incident happened at the Wankhede Stadium last night when Mumbai needed 17 in the last over bowled by Jaydev Unadkat while chasing 161 to win.

“Mr Sharma admitted to the Level 1 offence 2.1.5 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials. This is Mr Sharma’s second Level 1 offence this season,” an IPL release said.

“For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding.”
