Tim David, the batter for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has been fined 25% of his match fee and received one demerit point for a Level 1 code of conduct breach during a match against the Mumbai Indians (MI). The incident took place at Wankhede Stadium, where David disobeyed umpire instructions on two separate occasions. The first breach occurred when umpires changed the ball after 17.2 overs, and David refused to hand it over despite repeated requests. He was seen juggling the ball, prompting umpires Kannur Swaroopanand and Virender Sharma to intervene. The second incident took place after 19.2 overs, where he again failed to comply with the umpires' directives. This is David's first infraction of the season, and he accepted the match referee's decision post-game. Following their 18-run victory over MI, RCB is now positioned third on the points table, while MI is struggling at eighth with three losses in four matches.
