Ipl code

Kolkata Knight Riders: Mumbai Indians’ batting coach Kieron Pollard has been penalised by the BCCI for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during a thrilling encounter against Punjab Kings at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

Pollard has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee and received a demerit point, marking a formal addition to his disciplinary record.

The offence falls under Article 2.3 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials, which pertains to the “use of an audible obscenity during a match.” The incident took place during the 19th over of the second innings when Pollard reportedly directed abusive language toward the fourth umpire.
