India cricket captain Virat Kohli has been fined for complaining to an umpire and throwing the ball into the ground "in an aggressive manner" during a dispute over the playing conditions in the second Test in South Africa.
The International Cricket Council says Kohli argued with umpire Michael Gough after play resumed following a rain delay on day three on Monday. India was fielding and the skipper was unhappy that play resumed so soon after the rain, leaving India's players struggling on a damp outfield and with a wet ball.
The ICC says Kohli was given one demerit point and fined 25 per cent of his match fee. He accepted the punishment and there was no need for a formal hearing.
