Ambati Rayudu and Harshall Patel have been fined 100 and 25 percent of their match fees respectively after their part in ugly scenes at the end of the Indian Premier League clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The pair clashed at the end of the game, which was won by Mumbai, for whom Rayudu scored an unbeaten half-century.

Rayudu pleaded guilty to a charge of using obscene and abusive language towards Patel, who pleaded guilty to bringing the game into disrepute for his reaction.

Mumbai captain Harbhajan Singh was also fined $US 20,000 after Mumbai were found to have bowled their overs too slowly.
