New Delhi, May 2:
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Sourav Ganguly has been fined 10 per cent of his match fee for showing dissent on the field during their IPL encounter against Rajasthan Royals. Sourav Ganguly has been charged under Level 1 offence under the ICC's code of conduct.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne was also fined 10 per cent of his match fee by the referee, according to a news channel. Warne found himself in the dock for public criticism and has been charged under clause 1.7 of ICC's Code of Conduct.
Umpire Pratap Kumar was also suspended for a match for referring Ganguly decision to the third umpire.
The former Indian captain had asked for a third umpire referral on his catch that Graeme Smith took during the match, which Rajasthan Royals won by 45 runs.
After the match Warne lashed out at Sourav Ganguly, saying he would lodge a complaint against him for resorting to time-wasting tactics during the match and refusing to accept the fielder's word on a 'clean catch'.
Uumpire GA Pratapkumar was suspended for going to the third umpire on Ganguly's insistence after the Kolkata skipper had insisted that Smith, fielding for the Jaipur team, had not taken a catch cleanly.
