Why Team India player was penalised after Women's Asia Cup final
India pacer Kranti Gaud admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Supriya Rani Das of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees. As a result, there was no need for a formal hearing.
Former India fast bowler Kranti Gaud has been penalized 10% of her match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the Asia Cup 2026 Women's final against Sri Lanka in Dubai. The action took place after Gaud dismissed Sri Lanka's opener Imesha Dulani in the opening over. Gaud made a gesture towards the pavilion after taking the wicket, which the ICC deemed inappropriate as it could incite an aggressive reaction from the batter.
Despite admitting to the offense, Gaud accepted the proposed punishment, thus avoiding a formal hearing. This is her first offense within a 24-month period. The fine adds one demerit point to her disciplinary record.
