Cricket fans are currently on the Champions Trophy, whose final will be played on Sunday 9 March. But apart from this, the thrill of cricket continues because these days the Women's Premier League (WPL) is being played in India. This tournament is also towards its last stop. But in the midst of the tournament, a veteran Indian player has a whip of BCCI, that too a day before that player's birthday. These players are Indian team and Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur in WPL.

Indian women's cricket team captain and veteran all -rounder Harmanpreet Kaur will celebrate her 36th birthday on Saturday 8 March.

Apparently, she will be very excited about her birthday and will also be ready for celebration. But a day before the happiness of his birthday, that is, on Friday 7 March, the Indian Cricket Board conducted a whip and fined him.

Harmanpreet's fight

The reason for this was the match played between Mumbai Indians and UP Warriors in WPL. The match took place on Thursday 6 March in Lucknow, in which Mumbai had registered an easy win. But in this match, when Mumbai was close to victory, something happened that surprised everyone. The incident took place in the 19th over of UP's innings, when the umpire told Harmanpreet that his team is lagging behind the time and in such a situation he will be allowed to put out only 3 fielders from the circle of 30 yards.

The Mumbai captain did not like this decision and lodged an objection with the umpire.

Meanwhile, Mumbai bowler Amelia Karr also came and started giving his opinion. All this was going on that then UP batsman Sophie Eclaston also reached there and started speaking something to the umpire in this matter. But Harmanpreet did not like Sophie to come in the middle and he called the UP player something good and bad.

BCCI fines Kaur

Although the umpires solved this matter at the same time, the umpire and the match referee did not like such behavior of the Mumbai captain. The Code of Conduct BCCI has created for WPL, Harmanpreet's behavior was found against her and the match referee fined the Mumbai captain 10 per cent of the match fee.

However, it is a matter of relief for Harmanpreet that she was not banned any kind and she will continue to play in the tournament.
