Rishabh Pant's Performance and Penalty
In the recent Test match against England at Leeds, India's vice-captain Rishabh Pant showcased his batting prowess by scoring impressive centuries in both innings. However, he faced an official reprimand for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct at Level 1. Fortunately for him, he avoided a severe penalty, as the Level 1 violation resulted in a lighter punishment than it could have been, which might have included a 50% deduction from his match fee.
During England's first innings, Pant was reprimanded for his behavior on the field. He was found guilty of violating Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which pertains to showing dissent towards an umpire's decision during international matches.
As a consequence, a demerit point has been added to Pant's record. This incident marked his first infraction in the past 24 months. The incident occurred during the 61st over of England's innings when Pant was seen discussing a ball change with the umpire while Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were batting.
After the ball was examined with a gauge and the request for a change was denied, Pant expressed his disagreement by throwing the ball in front of the umpire. He acknowledged his mistake, which led to no disciplinary hearing. Pant accepted the penalty proposed by match referee Richie Richardson.
