For those unaware, the match between LSG and MI exceeded the stipulated time duration.

As of Digvesh, he celebrated with the Notebook gesture even after being warned of his first match. The gesture was counted in as offending and BCCI decided to impose a fine on him again. As per IPL guidelines, for Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, “the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding.”
