Looks like Rising Pune Supergiant wicketkeeper MS Dhoni has had to pay the price for jokingly signalling for a review after Imran Tahir struck Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard on the pads during the second game of the IPL in Pune on Thursday.

Match referee Manu Nayyar seems to have not taken the joke nicely and the former India skipper has been reprimanded for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.

According to a statement issued by BCCI, Dhoni admitted to the Level 1 offence (Article 2.1.1) for conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game. It further said that in case of Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the match referee's decision is final and binding.
