If that wasn’t enough, Rana also sent the left-hander off, pointing his fingers towards the dressing room, earning himself unwanted attention. The 23-year-old was fined 10% of his match fees for breaching the DPL Code of Conduct, under Article 2.5.Â
Article 2.5 deals with “Using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player in the match”. Rana’s side successfully defended 165, winning by 11 runs in that clash.
