The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a strict verdict against savvy players Tim David from Mumbai Indians and Kieron Pollard because of being accused of nefarious DRS deduction. The case arose in a fixture against the Kings of Panjab, and then, he attempted to fake the assistance to batter, Suryakumar Yadav, it violates all the rules of the game.
The incident led the players to manoeuvre against the ethical code of conduct of the IPL, for which they have been fined 20 per cent of their match fees. The sanctions, issued following the panel’s decision to find the players guilty of committing a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 of the Code, were very disappointing and difficult to bear.
Meanwhile, however, the on-field umpire had called the ball legal, and footage from the broadcaster’s TV showed fans how Mumbai Indians’ head coach Mark Boucher was signalling to Suryakumar Yadav that it was a wide ball. Further, David and Helen were seen requesting Yadav to review and reverse his decision. And this, acting as an interference, should be prevented.
The BCCI statement mentioned that the players confessed the error and consented with the sanctions that were imposed by the umpire The Code of Conduct announcement of the case referee binds all Level 1 breaches grounded on the match referee’s final decision.
This situation has already raised discussions about fair play and the value of maintaining sports’ nobility. BCCI’s faultless behavior demonstrates its adamant stance that such acts won’t be allowed in the IPL.
