Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been fined for breaching Level 1 of the code of conduct during the third day’s play of the second Test against South Africa. Virat Kohli has been fined 25 per cent of his match and received one demerit point for breaching Article 2.1.1 which relates to ‘’conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.’’

The incident happened in the 25th over of South Africa’s second innings when Kohli continued to complain to umpire Michael Gough about the ball being affected by a damp outfield following a rain delay, before throwing the ball into the ground in an aggressive manner.
