India fined 20% of match fees, West Indies 10% as slow over rate in 3rd ODI draws ICC ire

The International Cricket Council (ICC) imposed fines on India and West Indies for slow over rates during the third ODI in Chandigarh. The match lasted nine hours and drew criticism from former players and commentators. India faced a stiffer penalty of 20% of their match fee compared to West Indies' 10%. Match referee Prakash Bhatt issued the sanctions after the game.

Both captains acknowledged their wrongdoing and accepted the sanctions without formal hearings. India won the series 2-1, but the West Indies made history with their highest successful run chase in ODIs, with Shai Hope scoring an unbeaten 162. The incident impacted the teams' performance, with India struggling at home after previous matches and Kohli's poor form. The two teams will now focus on the upcoming five-match T20I series starting in Lucknow.
