The much talked incident happened in the 25th over of the Indian innings when Dhoni found the pacer standing in his way while taking a run and he forcefully pushed Mustafizur.

Earlier, India captain MS Dhoni was on Friday morning summoned by match referee Andy Pycroft for a hearing for shoving Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahaman during the first One-Day cricket International here in Mirpur’s Home of Cricket. Pycroft had also summoned Mustafizur to listen to his side of the story.

According to the latest news updates from different sources, Mustafizur has been fined 50% of his match fee while Dhoni will have to pay 75% of his match fee.

Despite being badly charged by India’s so-called Captain Cool, Mustafizur Rahman claimed five wickets as his team eventually thrashed the arrogant visitors by a huge margin of 79 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. The second ODI will be played on Sunday at the same venue.
