Ravichandran Ashwin, captain of Dindigul Dragons and former India all-rounder, has been fined 30% of his match fee for showing dissent during a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 match against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans on Sunday night (June 8) in Coimbatore.
What did Ashwin do?
The incident happened in the fifth over of Dindigul’s innings when Ashwin was adjudged LBW off R Sai Kishore while attempting a sweep shot. Replays showed the ball may have pitched outside the leg stump, but with both reviews already used on wide-ball calls, Ashwin had no way to challenge the decision.
He appeared visibly upset and immediately remonstrated with on-field umpire Kritika, pointing toward the pitch. As he walked off, Ashwin hit his pads with his bat in frustration and later flung his gloves after entering the dugout.
A TNPL official confirmed that Ashwin was fined 10% for dissent and another 20% for misuse of equipment. “There was a hearing conducted by the match referee after the game. He (Ashwin) accepted the sanctions after a hearing conducted by the match referee,” the official told Cricbuzz.
