R Ashwin handed hefty fine for violent outburst during TNPL match: Report
Ravichandran Ashwin has been fined 30 percent of his match fee for his violent outburst during the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match between Dindigul Dragons and Tiruppur Tamizhans on Sunday, June 8 in Coimbatore. Ashwin was seen showing dissent towards the on-field umpire after he was given out leg before wicket to a delivery from Sai Kishore. The former Indian spinner's anger came from the fact that the ball had seemingly pitched outside leg stump before hitting his pads. The match, which was played at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Cricket Ground, featured umpire Kritika and match referee Arjun Kripal Singh. Ashwin was unable to take a review to overturn the decision as the Dindigul Dragons had already exhausted their DRS on two wide-calls. advertisementThe clip of the incident has since gone viral on social media in which, the Dindigul Dragons skipper was seen remonstrating with the umpire after being struck on the pads after trying to go for a sweep shot. Ashwin was also seen slamming the bat against his pads and throwing away his gloves in anger. A TNPL official told Cricbuzz that there was a hearing with the match referee after the game and was given a 10 percent fine for showing dissent towards the umpires and an additional 20 for the misuse of the equipment. The official said that the Dragons skipper accepted the sanctions. "There was a hearing conducted by the match referee after the game," a TNPL official told Cricbuzz. "Ashwin was fined 10 per cent for showing dissent towards the umpires and 20 per cent for misuse of equipment. He accepted the sanctions."Ashwin was batting on 18 runs from 11 balls when the incident happened as the Dragons were 39 for one in five overs. Ashwin's wicket triggered a big collapse as Dindigul Dragons were bundled out for 94 runs. The Tirrupur Tamizhans chased the score down with nine wickets and 49 balls to spare. Must Watch
