This photo series reveals the difficulties currently confronting Indian cricket icon Ashish Nehra and we shall also know the reason behind the BCCI's action against him. Let's dive in.
After Gujarat Titan's victory, Ashish Nehra's match fee was deducted. BCCI has fined Ashish Nehra 25 percent of his match fee and added a demerit point for violating the IPL code of conduct.
Ashish Nehra has admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20, which relates to conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, and accepted the match referee's sanction. The match referee's decision for a Level 1 breach of the Code of Conduct is final.
Actually, Ashish Nehra got angry at the umpire in the match against Mumbai Indians. The match had to be stopped several times due to rain. During this time, Nehra looked very angry. Actually, Nehra expressed disappointment on the umpires for the delaying strategy after the second rain break.
The match was initially scheduled to start at around 12:09. It was repeatedly postponed. The time was changed to 12:25 and then to 12:30. Ashish Nehra was annoyed that the umpires were taking a lot of time to restart the match, even though it seemed like the rain had stopped. This made Nehra angry.
Gujarat Titans won by three wickets in a rain-interrupted match. Batting first, Mumbai scored 155 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs, but then one over was cut due to rain interruption, after which Gujarat got a target of 147 runs in 19 overs, which Shubman Gill's team achieved on the last ball at the loss of seven wickets. Gill was the player of the match. He scored 43 runs in 46 balls and also took three catches.
