Adelaide: Australia's David Warner and Indian duo Shikhar Dhawan and skipper Virat Kohli were Saturday found guilty of breaching cricket's code of conduct during the fourth day's play in the first Test and fined a portion of their match fees, an ICC statement said Saturday.
The first Test concluded here Saturday with Australia beating the visitors by 48 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
Warner and Dhawan were fined 15 and 30 per cent of their match fees respectively for their roles in an altercation that took place during the second session of play Friday, while Kohli was also fined 30 per cent of his match fee for his involvement in a separate incident shortly before the close of play on the same day.
The three players were charged under Level 1 Article 2.1.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “conduct that either (a) is contrary to the spirit of the game or (b) brings the game into disrepute.”
