    RAJKOT: A video footage emerged on Tuesday, showing Indian captain Virat Kohli apparently tampering the ball during India's first Test match against England.
    
    In the video, Virat Kohli can be seen rubbing his fingers in his mouth, which contains a sweet, the residue of which is used by the Indian skipper to shine one side of the ball.
    
    So far, neither the Indian cricket team, Kohli, BCCI or the ICC have reacted to media reports of the Indian captain being accused of ball-tampering.
    
    The video comes in the wake of South African cricket captain Faf du Plessis being found guilty of ball-tampering by the International Cricket Council during the Hobart Test match against Australia.
    
    However, Faf du Plessis was cleared to play in Adelaide later this week after being fined his whole match fee for the Hobart Test.

opss...
Faf Du Plessie have been found guilty on same charges and have been fined.

Du Plessis found guilty, but free to play in Adelaide
South Africa's captain Faf du Plessis has been found guilty of ball-tampering and fined his entire match fee from the Hobart Test, but will be free to play in Adelaide this week.

The charge, laid by ICC chief executive David Richardson, related to clause 2.2.9 of the ICC's Code of Conduct, which deals with "changing the condition of the ball" in breach of the Laws of Cricket. The Laws of Cricket, in turn, allow that players may "polish the ball provided that no artificial substance is used and that such polishing wastes no time".

In laying the charge, the ICC had said that "TV footage appeared to show du Plessis applying saliva and residue from a mint or sweet, an artificial substance, to the ball in an attempt to change its condition" during the Hobart Test. Du Plessis pleaded not guilty to the charge and faced a lengthy hearing before ICC match referee Andy Pycroft in Adelaide on Tuesday.

On Tuesday evening, the ICC said in a statement: "The decision was based on the evidence given from the umpires, who confirmed that had they seen the incident they would have taken action immediately, and from Mr Stephenson [MCC head of cricket John Stephenson], who confirmed the view of MCC that the television footage showed an artificial substance being transferred to the ball."

In addition to the fine, three demerit points have been added to the disciplinary record of du Plessis for what was deemed a first offence. If du Plessis reaches four or more demerit points within a two-year period, they will be converted into suspension points and he would face a ban.

Cricket South Africa has confirmed that du Plessis, who had been represented by CSA's legal counsel via teleconference, would appeal the verdict. He has 48 hours from the time of receipt of the written decision to lodge his objections.

An appeal would require the matter to be heard from the beginning by a judicial commissioner, who can then increase, decrease or amend the sanction in accordance with the punishments for the particular breach. The maximum penalty for a level 2 breach is a 100% match fee fine and two suspension points, which equates to being banned for one Test. In essence, du Plessis would therefore be risking a ban by attempting to clear his name.

Du Plessis' stoicism in his own innocence has echoed around the South African squad all week. On Tuesday, coach Russell Domingo confirmed, prior to the hearing, that the entire touring party was "standing by our captain." The squad was at the Adelaide Oval for the full duration of du Plessis' hearing, conducting their training session. Du Plessis was unable to play any part in the practice as his time with the match referee lasted a full three hours.

Australia's players were also training at Adelaide Oval as the hearing took place. They arrived around 5pm and trained under lights, and as du Plessis left his hearing he walked past several of the Australians, accompanied by CSA's security officer and team manager. Du Plessis had a coffee in hand and a stony expression on his face, revealing little, but 90 minutes later the guilty was verdict was made public.

By the way, media have coined a catchy name for this whole drama, calling it...... The Lollygate

Pretty easily!! Just by posting the ball biting pics of Afridi. What WE have always failed to understand is that two wrongs do not make one right!!

Well if he is found guilty for tampering with the ball, he should be punished according to the ICC rules.

I can't figure out how a ball can be tampered with mint. But seems to be that, you are tampering with yourself using the "everyone is a bakth" logic.

Thanks for the honest and unbiased review. Really appreciate this.

As for tempering and the mints, application of any foreign substance to alter the shape and form of the ball is considered tempering. Like applying vaseline or grease and now, the MINTS!!

It's really surprising that, people appreciate us for putting forward the correct opinion. Things have changed a lot. "Normal" has became "rare".

And I stand with my comment. If he is guilty, he should be punished. But I want the O.P. of this thread to show the same enthusiasm to post further details of the issue either if he gets acquitted or found guilty.

Shahid Afridi was banned for 2 t20s for ball tampering. I wonder what will be the case here.

They will just just charge him match fee just like Du Plessis..

Rules are only for Pakistani players.

Yup, i agree with this. Times have changed and even things as simple and basic as speaking and putting forward the right thing have become a rare commodity these days. Thus the appreciation!
