The Mumbai-based franchise held its nerve and avoided a major choke-job against the Punjab Kings. The Mumbai Indians register a nine-run win.
Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard both have been fined for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during the match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 18. During the match against the PBKS in Mullanpur, in the 15th over during MI’s batting, PBKS pacer Arshdeep Singh bowled a full delivery outside the off-stump, very close to the wide-line. Suryakumar Yadav was on the strike and the umpire didn’t give a wide signal.
However, in the MI dugout, head coach Mark Boucher was seen gesturing to Suryakumar that it was a wide delivery along with batting coach Kieron Pollard and batter Tim David were also seen urging Suryakumar to take the review. The video went viral on social media.
Now, both Tim David and Kieron Pollard are fined for breaching the IPL’s Code of Conduct.
