Gujarat Titans’ fast bowler Ishant Sharma has been slapped with a fine of 25% of his match fees and handed one demerit point for breaching IPL’s code of conduct during Titans’ match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday in Hyderabad. 

"Ishant Sharma admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 and accepted the Match Referee's sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding," An official statement from IPL read.
