Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan have
been fined 30% of their match-fees
for breaching the International
Cricket Council (ICC) code of conduct
during the fourth day's play of the
first Test in Adelaide. David Warner
was fined 15% of his match-fee.

The breach happened after David
Warner was recalled by the on-field
umpires after being bowled off a no-
ball by Varun Aaron. Instead of
taking his batting position, Warner
walked towards the bowler and made
a provocative comment. That sparked
a heated exchange between Warner
and Shikhar Dhawan, who entered
the scene from his position at first
slip and aggressively remonstrated
with Warner. The umpires had to
intervene to cool tempers. Kohli was
fined
In a separate incident, Rohit Sharma
and Steve Smith exchanged words
after the former was alleged to have
appealed for an incredulous Leg
Before Wicket Decision. Kohli was
pictured gesturing towards Smith
asking him to 'stay within his limits'.

The three players admitted the
offences and accepted the sanctions
proposed by Match Referee Jeff
Crowe. As such, there was no need
for a formal hearing," an ICC release
said.

Following the incidents Crowe spoke
with the two captains and reminded
them of their responsibilities. "Both
captains agreed that they will take
the lead and the responsibility for
setting the example. In particular, to
stop any unacceptable aggression of
any kind towards opposing players,"
Crowe said.

The three players were charged under
Level 1 Article 2.1.8 of the ICC Code
of Conduct for Players and Player
Support Personnel, which relates to
conduct that either: (a) is contrary to
the spirit of the game; or (b) brings
the game into disrepute and carries a
minimum penalty of an official
reprimand a maximum of 50 per cent
of a player's match fee.
