"The match referee (Valmik Buch) called me and informed that Manoj has been docked 40 percent of his match fees as he also got into the argument. The match referee told me that rules specify that he will have to fine Manoj. (Gautam Gambhir Rubbishes Reports of On-Altercation With Manoj Tiwary)
Gautam Gambhir has been penalised 70 percent of his match fees. There is no further hearing and no match ban has been imposed on either of them," Bengal team manager Sameer Dasgupta informed.
Dasgupta also informed that Tiwary did not have to personally appear for hearing as the match referee handed him the letter which contained the quantum of punishment.
Tiwary took to Twitter stating that he didn't wish to get into a mud slinging with Gambhir.
