Kaul admitted to the Level 1 offence under 2.1.4 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials and accepted the sanction, a BCCI media release confirmed on Wednesday. For all Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the match referee's decision is considered final and binding.

The 27-year-old fast bowler, who picked up 3 for 23, was guilty of celebrating animatedly in the face of Mayank Markande, who he trapped plumb in front in the 16th over before. Although the release didn't specify any details of the incident that led to the punishment, it is thought to be the celebration that could have invited trouble for Kaul.

Kaul has been in fine form this season for his franchise, picking nine wickets from six games. SRH has emerged as the best bowling unit in the tournament and Kaul has surprisingly evolved as the spearhead of the attack, despite the presence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, Bhuvneshwar has played two lesser games than Kaul, missing out due to a sore back.
