India have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against South Africa in the second ODI in Raipur.

Richie Richardson of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after KL Rahul’s side was found to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

Accordingly, India were charged under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences.

Players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over if their side fails to bowl within the allotted time, if deemed an offence.

As stand-in skipper, Rahul pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the sanction; therefore, no formal hearing was required.
