Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowler Siddarth Kaul has been reprimanded for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) code of conduct during a match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Mumbai Indians by 31 runs in a low-scoring encounter to climb to the 3rd spot in the points table. Kaul was in a spectacular form, picking up 3 wickets for 23 to defeat the defending champions.

“Siddarth Kaul, the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler, was issued a reprimand during his team’s Indian Premier League encounter against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday,” IPL said in a statement on Wednesday, April 25.

Though we cannot confirm, it is speculated that he has been reprimanded because of his reaction after taking Mayank Markande’s wicket. It is not yet known whether he will feature in the next fixture or not. It should act as a wake-up call for young cricketers who tend to get carried away.

It was Sachin Tendulkar’s 45th birthday yesterday and here is a glimpse of the euphoria witnessed at the stadium.
