Team India has been fined 40 per cent of the match fees for maintaining a slow over-pace in the fifth and final Twenty20 International (T20I) against England in Ahmedabad on Saturday. After taking time allowance, India got two overs less than the target. The International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a media statement on Sunday that India’s captain Virat Kohli pleaded guilty to the crime and therefore no formal hearing was required.
