Indian
skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s collision with Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur
Rahman has got more importance than Bangladesh’s 79-run win over India. This
incident took place in the first ODI of the three-match ODI series during the
25th over of India’s run chase. While Dhoni was running for a
single, Mustafizur came in his way. Then the rest is known to all cricket
lovers. He shoved the bowler with his elbow while trying to reach the crease.
Because
of his unsporting act, he was charged with Level 2 offence under ICC Code of
Conduct. He was fined 75% of his match fees while Rahman was fined 50% of his
match fees.
However,
Dhoni claimed him innocent. He said he did not hit the player intentionally. But
the TV replay showed that he not only made no attempt to change his course but
also shoved
him with a shoulder charge which forced the player to leave the field
injured.
As
per rules, player charged with Level 2 offense is fined 50 to 100 percent of
his match fees or two-match ban.
