The incident occurred in the IPL 2026 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, “during the 10th over of Gujarat Titans’ innings. Following the fall of a wicket [Jordan Cox’s catch off Washington Sundar ruled not out], David threw an ice bag aggressively in the direction of umpire Nitin Menon,” according to an IPL media release. David was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Team Official, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during a Match.”
