Indian batsman Virat Kohli was fined 30 per cent of his match fee for misconduct during the T20 Asia Cup match with Pakistan.
Kohli was found to have shown dissent at an umpire's decision, the International Cricket Council confirmed on Sunday.
The incident happened in the 15th over of India's innings when Kohli, after being given out leg before, showed his bat and then looked back at the umpire and uttered some words as he left the crease.
Kohli top-scored with 49 off 51 balls as India defeated fierce rivals Pakistan by five wickets in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka.
The 27-year-old admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe and no formal hearing was needed.
Such offences carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee.
Hardik Pandya took 3-8 as India skittled Pakistan out for 83 to secure a comfortable victory on Saturday in the Asia Cup in Dhaka.
