New Delhi, April 3 -- Abhishek Sharma has been fined 25% of his match fees after the KKR vs SRH match on 2 April. The vice-captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad was given one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during a match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Abhishek admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.3. He accepted the match referee's decision, which is final and binding.
