Delhi Capitals captain, Rishabh Pant has been fined 100 percent of his match fee for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Rishabh Pant admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.7 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction.

Shardul Thakur from Delhi Capitals has been fined 50 percent of his match fee for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct. Shardul admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.8 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction.

Pravin Amre, Assistant Coach, Delhi Capitals has been fined 100 percent of his match fee for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct. He will also face a one-match ban for the offence. Amre admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction.

The sanctions are related to the last over drama when the Delhi Capitals camp displayed their displeasure regarding an umpire's decision not to give a waist height no-ball. Pant went to gesture two batters - Rovman Powell and Kuldeep Yadav - to come out of the ground while Pravin Amre stepped into the ground to talk to the umpire. 

"I thought that no-ball could have been precious for us but it is not in my control. Yes, disappointed but can't do much about it. Everyone was frustrated (in the dugout) that it was not even close, everyone in the ground saw that, I think the third umpire should have interfered and said it was a no-ball," Pant had said after the match which DC lost by 15 runs. 

"Obviously, it wasn't right (sending Amre onto the field) but what happened with us is also not right, it happened in the heat of the moment. It was the fault from both sides and it is disappointing as we have seen some good umpiring in the tournament," he added.
