India's ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first Test against Australia in Nagpur.Jadeja was found to have breached Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to displaying conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Jadeja's disciplinary record. This was his first offence in a 24-month period.The incident occurred during the 46th over of Australia's first innings on Thursday, 9 February, when Jadeja was seen applying a soothing cream to his index finger. In the video footage, the left-arm spinner took a substance from Mohammed Siraj's palm and appeared to rub this onto the index finger of his left hand.The India team management had explained that the finger spinner was applying the cream to a swelling on the index finger of his bowling hand. This was done without asking for permission from the on-field umpires.Jadeja admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.In reaching his decision to sanction the player along with the Level 1 sanction he imposed, the Match Referee was satisfied that the cream was applied to the finger purely for medical purposes. The cream was not applied as an artificial substance to the ball and consequently, it did not change the condition of the ball, which would have been in breach of clause 41.3 of the ICC playing conditions - Unfair Play - The Match Ball - Changing its Condition.On-field umpires Nitin Menon and Richard Illingworth, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan levelled the charge.Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.Coming to the match, a fiery five-wicket haul by Ravichandran Ashwin combined with all-round brilliance of Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel helped India clinch a massive win by innings and 132 runs within the first three days of the first Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at Nagpur, after the visitors were bundled out for just 91 runs before the end of the second session on Saturday.With this, India has a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.In the second innings, Australia was once again off to a tricky start in their bid to overcome a lead of 223 runs by India.

He went on to dismiss David Warner (10) and Matt Renshaw (2) in quick succession. Australia was slowly choking under the pressure built by spinners and sunk to 42/4, with a mountain of runs still left to climb.A boundary by Smith helped Australia cross 50-run mark in 16.2 overs.Ashwin got his fourth wicket of the match and he sent back Handscomb in the fourth lbw dismissal of the inning. Australia was in a huge spot of bother at 52/5, trailing by 167 runs.Despite trying, there was not stopping Ashwin.

The all-rounder was gone for a well-made 70 off 185 balls. India was 328/8.Mohammed Shami was next up at the crease.Shami put a price on his wicket and played some fine strokes, including a four and a six. Axar continued to guard his wicket as well.

Ashwin got three scalps while Siraj and Shami took one wicket each.India came out to bat and top-order, except skipper Rohit Sharma failed again.
