Players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over if their side fails to bowl within the allotted time, if deemed an offence.
As stand-in skipper, Rahul pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the sanction; therefore, no formal hearing was required.
India lost the second ODI against South Africa despite exceptional efforts from Virat Kohli (102) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105), who helped the team post a daunting total of 358/5.
In reply, Aiden Markram anchored the Proteas’ innings with a superb 110 off 98 balls as South Africa chased down the target with four wickets to spare.
