Munaf Patel fined!

Munaf Patel abused Chopra and Sehwag fined by Match Referee Jadeja in the Irani Cup between Rest of India lead by Kumble and Delhi lead by Sehwag
In the Irani Cup final, on Day 3 Rest of India fast bowler Munaf Patel had an altercation with Chopra of Delhi. This forced Delhi skipper Virendra Sehwag to intervene who was also abused by Munaf.

Subsequently Sehwag lodged an official complaint with the match referee. It was said that Sehwag returned to Delhi at the end of day 3 though Delhi is still batting at 113 for 3 chasing 378.

Match Referee Jadeja enquired and said to have sent the report to BCCI. The unofficial news is that Munaf Patel found guilty and was fined 75% of his match fee.

This is not the first time the pacer is involved in an incident like this. He was found guilty of verbally abusing Gamini Silva after the umpire turned down the leg before wicket appeal.

Jadeja said, "Delhi was represented by coach Vijay Dahia, while Rest of India was represented by Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Munaf."
