Dubai - Indian cricket captain Shubman Gill and his team have been docked 20% of their match fees by the ICC for slow over-rates during their concluding ODI against West Indies on Saturday in Chandigarh. West Indies were penalized 10% for similar delays. The ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed these sanctions, headed by Prakash Bhatt.
Both Gill and West Indies skipper Shai Hope admitted guilt, avoiding formal hearings. The fines followed the findings of on-field umpires Jayaraman Madanagopal and Sam Nogajski, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, and fourth umpire Virender Sharma. The penalties were based on Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which levies a 5% fine per over a team fails to bowl on time.
Despite the sanctions, India won the three-match ODI series 2-1. Hope scored an unbeaten 162 to lead a record chase, while Gill amassed 334 runs in the series, including a 223 in the second match and a 110 in the final. Gill was named Player of the Series. India and West Indies will now focus on an upcoming five-match T20I series starting in Lucknow on October 6.
