Arshdeep Singh Fined After Tense T20 World Cup Incident

Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was fined by the ICC for hurling the ball at New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell during the T20 World Cup final. The incident occurred during the 11th over of New Zealand's innings, resulting in a breach of conduct and a 15% match fee fine for Arshdeep.

Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh faced disciplinary action from the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday, subsequent to an incident during the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand.

In the 11th over, Singh threw the ball back at batsman Daryl Mitchell after fielding it, hitting him on the pads. This action led to Mitchell approaching Singh in anger, necessitating umpire intervention. India's captain, Suryakumar Yadav, intervened with an apology on behalf of his teammate.

The ICC fined Arshdeep 15% of his match fee for breaching the Code of Conduct. Singh later apologized to Mitchell at the match's conclusion, but the ICC's decision stands. India secured victory against New Zealand with a 96-run lead, making history as the first team to clinch three men's T20 World Cup titles.
