Karthik One-match Ban in Ranji Trophy

Ahmedabad: Dinesh Karthik, Tamil Nadu's captain, has been banned for one Ranji Trophy match after being found guilty of breaching the BCCI Code of Conduct and has been warned over his future conduct.

Karthik, the wicketkeeper-batsman, was found guilty of a Level 1 and 2 offence during Tamil Nadu's Super League match against Gujarat in Ahmedabad.

Sanjay Patil, the match referee, found him guilty of breaching Level 1 and 2 of the conduct rulebook, which refers to bringing the game into disrepute by excessive appealing and charging toward the umpire. Karthik was fined 75% of his match fee and will not be available for Tamil Nadu's next match against Punjab in Amritsar starting November 17.

The incident took place when Jay Desai was on 68 during Gujarat's second innings and Karthik excessively appealed for a catch off offspinner R Ashwin, who was also issued a verbal warning for arguing with the umpire. Desai went on to score 108 as the match ended in a draw.
