[ad_1]
Australia won the match by 209 runs. “It was confirmed at the end of the final day’s play on Sunday that India stand to forfeit their full match fee and Australia 80 per cent of their match fee for slow over-rates,” the ICC said in a statement released on Monday. It further added, “Under Section 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, players have been fined 20 per cent per over for not completing their overs within the stipulated time.”
hence more fine on gill
India were five overs behind in stipulated time while Australia were four overs behind. Indian players in the playing XI get Rs 15 lakh per test and reserve players get Rs 7.5 lakh. Gill was found guilty of breaching Article 2.7, which deals with public condemnation of an incident or improper statement during an international match.
During India’s second innings, TV umpire Richard Kettleborough declared Gill out, whose hand touched the ground while taking a catch off Cameron Green. After the end of the day’s play, Gill posted a replay shot of the TV screen on social media. All cricket experts and former cricketers have different opinions about this. Ricky Ponting said that the catch was fair, while Harbhajan Singh believed that there was a mistake by the third umpire.
Now the question arises that 100% match fee is fine, but on whose pocket the burden of additional 15% will go. Will Shubman Gill himself pay this money? This is the question in everyone’s mind. 15% of 10 lakhs is 1.5 lakh rupees. As it is seen in IPL, the franchisee itself pays the penalty money on the players. In such a situation, it is believed that this money will be filled by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
