Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was on Saturday fined 100 per cent of his match fee, while assistant coach Pravin Amre was handed a one-match ban for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the team’s 15-run loss to Rajasthan Royals.

Besides the one-match ban, Amre was also fined his entire match fees. Capitals pacer Shardul Thakur too has been penalised 50 per cent of his match-fees, the IPL said in a release. The trio were penalised for their conduct during the final over of the match on Friday. All three have admitted to the Level 2 offence under varying sub-sections of the IPL Code of Conduct.

Needing 36 runs for a win off the final over, DC batter Rovman Powell hit three successive sixes from the

first three deliveries, including the third ball, which was a hip-high full-toss from Obed McCoy, to bring the equation down to 18 runs from the final three balls.

However, the DC camp demanded that the third ball be called a no-ball for height with Pant asking his batters — Powell and Kuldeep Yadav — to walk out and assistant coach Amre stepping on to the playing arena to speak to the umpires.

Delhi Capitals assistant coach Shane Watson said after Friday’s game that what happened was “unacceptable”.

“In the end, Delhi Capitals don’t stand for what happened in the final over. The umpire’s decision, whether it’s right or wrong, we have to accept. Someone running onto the field. It’s not acceptable, we simply weren’t good enough,” former Australia international Watson said.

It started with Kuldeep, who was at the non-striker’s end, gesturing to the umpires to check for a possible no-ball. Powell too joined in, but the umpires stood their ground. Pant then called the batsmen back.
