Overview

• Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Haris Rauf with a yorker in the 18th over of the Asia Cup final in Dubai and then mimicked a plane diving, a clip that quickly went viral.
• Media reports say the act could be evaluated under Article 2.5, which covers provocative send-offs directed at a dismissed batter.
• A Level 1 offence under that provision can bring a fine of up to 50% of match fees and a demerit point, according to summaries of ICC rules.
• No formal ICC sanction against Bumrah had been announced at the time of reporting, and the disciplinary status remains developing.
• Context for the reaction includes Haris Rauf’s earlier airplane gesture in the Super Fours, which drew a BCCI complaint and a 30% match-fee fine from the ICC.
