India were penalised 60% of their match fee for the first ODI's sluggish overrate against New Zealand on January 18 in Hyderabad as announced by International Cricket Council (ICC).

Players are penalised 20% of their match fee for each over their team fails to bowl in the permitted time, as stated in Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

An official hearing wasn't required as the India captain, Rohit Sharma, admitted to the offence alleged by the on-field umpires, Anil Chaudhary and Nitin Menon, as well as the third and fourth umpires, K N Ananthapadmanabhan and Jayaraman Madanagopal.
India defeated New Zealand in a hard-fought match by a score of 12 runs. Shubman Gill (208 from 149) and Michael Bracewell both put in standout individual performances during the game (140 from 78).
