The International Cricket Council reprimanded Team India and issued a hefty fine for their slow over rate during the first one-day international match against New Zealand

During the first one-day international that took place on Wednesday between India and New Zealand, Team India was penalised sixty percent of their match money for maintaining a slow over-rate.

At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the Indians defeated the New Zealanders by a score of 12 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-game series.

Javagal Srinath, a member of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, reached the conclusion that the team captained by Rohit Sharma fell three overs short of their objective. The captain of the Indian team, Rohit, entered a guilty plea to the charges and agreed to the suggested sentence.

“Players are fined 20 percent of their match fee in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement. “This is for every over that their side fails to bowl in the allotted time,” the statement continued.

According to the statement, the on-field umpires Anil Chaudhary and Nitin Menon, as well as the third umpire K N Ananthapadmanabhan and the fourth umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal, were the ones who brought the complaint.

Shubman Gill broke the record for the youngest hitter to make a double century in one-day international cricket with his performance in the first one-day international. He hit 208 runs off 149 balls.

During an innings that lasted 149 balls and featured 19 fours and nine sixes, he was instrumental in India’s achievement of a formidable total score of 349-8.

After Rohit was bowled for 34, Virat Kohli was next to go, and Santner was able to dismiss him for just eight runs after he was bowled by Santner.

Ishan Kishan, who scored 210 the previous month when India played Bangladesh, was dismissed for a low price by Lockie Ferguson, but Gill gained timely help from Suryakumar Yadav (31) and Hardik Pandya (28).

Before holing out to deep midwicket in the penultimate over, he brought up his double century by hitting three consecutive sixes off Ferguson. Ferguson was the bowler who gave him the opportunity.

In New Zealand’s reply, Finn Allen scored 40 runs easily at the top of the order, but after Siraj took Latham’s wicket for the sixth wicket, the team was in danger of suffering a crushing loss.

After that, left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner joined Bracewell in the batting lineup. He contributed an outstanding 57 runs off of 45 balls as part of a 162 run partnership before being dismissed by Siraj.

Despite hitting 12 fours and 10 sixes, Bracewell’s team ended up on the losing side of the match. Siraj had the best bowling numbers of any of the Indian players, with 4-46.
