Watch: In a video that has gone viral, Rohit Sharma can be seen teasing Mayank Agarwal by blowing a flying kiss to replicate KKR seamer Harshit Rana’s flying kiss send-off.
During the Kolkata Knight Riders versus Sunrisers Hyderabad game, Harshit Rana got rid of Mayank Agarwal with a bouncer and gave the departing batter a stare and a flying kiss. The gesture landed Rana in trouble as he was fined 60 percent of his match fee for committing two offences under Article 2.5 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct.
“Rana committed two Level 1 offences under Article 2.5 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. He was fined 10 percent and 50 percent of his match fees for the two respective offences. Rana admitted to the two offences 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,” read a statement from IPL.
In a hilarious moment ahead of the clash between SRH and MI, former Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma was spotted taking a jibe at Agarwal. He playfully blew a flying kiss to Agarwal, recreating the occurrence in SRH’s season opener. Agarwal seemed to take the banter sportingly and laughed at Rohit’s antics.
