Ishan Kishan admits to violating IPL Code of Conduct during MI vs DC clash, fined 10 percent of match fees
IPL 2024: Hardik Pandya questions Tilak Varma's 'match awareness' during DC vs MI clash, says 'cost us the game' In a statement released on Saturday, BCCI stated, “Kishan committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL's Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee's sanction," “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." the statement further added.
MI opening batsman Ishan Kishan failed to make an impression against the DC bowlers, scoring just 20 runs off 14 deliveries and failing to provide his team with a decent start in the mammoth run chase of 258. In fact, the left-handed batsman hasn't lived up to his potential this season with a string of low scores in a number of games.
Kishan has scored 212 runs in the 9 matches played so far at a strike rate of 165.63 and an abysmal average of 23.56. While MI got some consolation from Tilak Varma (63 off 32 balls) and Tim David's scintillating knocks, they weren't enough to save the day for their team and Mumbai Indians eventually lost the crucial contest by 10 runs.Milestone Alert!
