RCB star penalised for ‘disobeying’ umpire during Mumbai Indians clash

Royal Challengers Bengaluru allrounder Tim David faced a penalty for not promptly returning a ball to the umpire during their IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians. He was fined 25% of his match fee and received a demerit point for repeatedly disobeying instructions. This occurred after a powerful six altered the ball’s shape, requiring a replacement.
