BCCI Punishes Tim David, Kieron Pollard For Breaching IPL's Code Of Conduct. Know What Happened

Mumbai Indians (MI) clinched a nail-biting nine-run win over hosts Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, on Thursday (April 18). However, the match was overshadowed by controversy as a viral video showed MI players and support staff allegedly helping batter Suryakumar Yadav from the dugout in asking for a DRS review. As a result, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken swift action against Mumbai Indians’ batting coach Kieron Pollard and batter Tim David for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.

“Mumbai Indians batter Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard have been fined for breaching the IPL’s Code of Conduct during their team’s Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur on April 18,” BCCI said.

While BCCI didn’t disclose specific details, it seems evident that the issue revolved around signals given by Tim David and Kieron Pollard from the dugout to Suryakumar Yadav regarding a wide call during MI vs PBKS IPL 2024 match.

Both Tim David and Kieron Pollard were found guilty of Level 1 offence under Article 2.20. As a result, they were each fined twenty percent of their match fees. The duo admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction.

Mumbai Indians (MI) currently hold the seventh position on Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 points table, with four losses and three wins from seven games in IPL 2024 season, thus far. MI’s next challenge awaits them on Monday (April 22), as they take on Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.

Mumbai Indians dugout caught giving Suryakumar Yadav signals when he asked for a review for a wide

In the 15th over of the Mumbai Indians innings, Punjab Kings bowler Arshdeep Singh delivered a ball far outside the off-stump, almost touching the tramline. Suryakumar Yadav attempted to reach it but failed to make contact with the bat, and the umpire ruled it a lawful delivery.

However, the situation took a turn when the camera captured Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard from the MI dugout signaling Suryakumar to review the decision by making the ‘T’ sign with their hands, indicating that it should have been called a wide.
