Team india grabbed Victory from the Jaws of Defeat Against afghanistan last night. The team continues its winning streak in the ongoing World Cup winning all the four matches it played so far. But then, Kohli has been fined 25 percent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the match.
Kohli has approached umpire Aleem Dar in an aggressive manner in the 29th over of afghanistan innings after jasprit bumrah trapped Rahmat Shah in front. Aleem Dar was unmoved but Kohli continued with the Appeal after india had lost their only review early in the innings. A demerit point has also been added to virat kohli's disciplinary record.
Kohli admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad Kohli now has two demerit points after having got one demerit point. When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, he is banned Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.
