    Virat’s reaction

    Match referee Chris Broad who is also a member of ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. He impose the sanction as the team India found to be four overs short. An ICC release said “Kohli pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction”. So there was no need for a formal hearing. Thereby On-field umpires Shaun Haig and Langton Rusere, third umpire Bruce Oxenford and fourth umpire Chris Brown leveled the charges.

    This is India’s third successive fine for maintaining the slow over rate against New Zealand. India lose the first ODI,its opener Hitman Rohit Sharma and also have a Hat-Trick in fine. Therefore in the upcoming 2nd ODI(February 8) of the three-match series scheduled to be played at the Eden Park in Auckland which would be a challenging for India to keep their time management in bowling. Though India win the T20I in a historic manner this makes the India fans a dreadful feeling towards India.
