The Indian cricket board has slapped a $50,000 fine on Australian bowling legend Shane Warne for his part in a bust-up with a local administrator after an IPL game, a statement said on Wednesday.

Warne, captain of the Rajasthan Royals team in the Indian Premier League, was involved in an angry exchange with Sanjay Dixit, secretary of the Rajasthan state cricket association, following his team’s defeat at home last week.
