India's stand-in captain Virat Kohli has been fined 20% of his match fees, and his team-mates 10% each, for maintaining a slow over rate in their Tri-nation ODI series match against Sri Lanka.



India were handed an embarrassing 165-run defeat by the Sri Lankans in the match that took place at the Sabina Place on Tuesday.

"In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, and in particular the regulations contained therein governing minor over-rate

offences, players are fined 10% of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount," the ICC said in a statement.

"As such, Kohli was fined 20% of his match fee while his team mates received 10% fines," it added.

Jeff Crowe, of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, imposed the fines after Kohli's side was ruled to be one over short of its target, after time allowances were taken into consideration.

It was India's second defeat on the trot, having lost to the hosts West Indies in their series opener at the same venue.
