Rohit Sharma has been reprimanded by the match referee for showing dissent after being wrongly adjudged out LBW against Kolkata Knight Riders in the seventh match of the IPL on Sunday (April 9).

The incident occurred in the tenth over of the Mumbai Indians' innings when Sharma was given out LBW on 2 by umpire CK Nandan. The batsman was seen gesturing angrily and showing his bat to the umpire as he walked away. Replays showed that the umpire had missed a big inside edge.

"Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians captain, was reprimanded by the match referee for showing excessive, obvious disappointment with an Umpire's decision during his team's contest against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium," said an official statement.

After the match, Sharma admitted to the Level 1 offence according to the IPL Code of Conduct for players.
