Amid massive win over Australia, ICC fined and gave a demerit point to Ravindra Jadeja for breaching ICC Code of Conduct

Team India has thrashed Australia in the first test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Nagpur. They have registered a big win of an inning and 132 runs on the visitors to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.

The match ended within three days as Australia couldn't bat freely against the Indian spinners. It all started with the first inning, as the visitors got bowled out for 177 runs. Then they conceded a 223-run lead in the first inning as India scored 400 runs in their first inning.

Trailing by 223 runs, the Australian batting order fell like a pack of cards, and the whole team got embarrassed for just 91 runs in 32.3 overs. This was Australia's lowest total in India. Ravi Ashwin picked up his 31st Test fifer and took 5/37, while Ravindra Jadeja continued his form and took 2/34.

However, after a massive win over the world's top-ranked Test team, India suffered a setback in the first game. The International Cricket Council (ICC) fined star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and gave him a demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel for Article 2.20, which suggests displaying conduct that is against the spirit of the game.

Adding to the demerit point, Jadeja was fined 25% of his match fee, as it was the first offence for him in a period of two years. There was no need for a due process hearing because Jadeja accepted the violation and agreed to the punishment Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees recommended.
