Fine for Jadeja..
It was the 46th over of Australia’s first innings. On the first day of the match, on February 9, Jadeja was seen applying cream on his finger. A video of Jadeja taking something from Mohammad Siraj and putting it on his left hand finger has gone viral on the net. Because of this, the Australian media called Jadeja a cheater. However, the Indian team management said that Jadeja has injured his finger and cream has been applied to his left hand. But the ICC fined him for doing it without the permission of the on-field umpires.
Jadeja who accepted the mistake..
In its statement, the ICC said that Jadeja accepted his mistake and accepted the punishment imposed by ICC match referee Andy Precroft, so no formal inquiry was required. The match referee admitted that Jadeja applied the cream on his finger only for medical reasons and that he did not intend to tamper with the ball. It didn’t even change the condition of the ball. On-field umpires Nitin Menon, Richard Lingworth, third umpire Michael Goff, fourth umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan Jadeja were charged.
