India’s captain, Virat Kohli has been given one demerit point – moving him closer to a ban – after making contact with South Africa’s Beuran Hendricks.
According to the BBC, the incident happened during Sunday’s third Twenty20 international, with Kohli found guilty of making “inappropriate physical contact” with the bowler while taking a run.
He has been given a third demerit point by the International Cricket Council.
If the 30-year-old gets one more by January 15, 2020 he faces a ban.
Players who accumulate four demerit points in a two-year period are given a suspension. Kohli’s first point came on January 15, 2018.
On this occasion, the batsman accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Richie Richardson.
