India have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the drawn second test against West Indies, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Sunday.

India were three overs short of their target after considering time allowances, the ICC said in a statement.      

    The Indian players were fined 30% of their match fees while captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was docked 60% as per ICC regulations.     

    No further hearing was required as India accepted the penalties without contest, the statement added.
