Dhoni, the captain of India's one-day side, donned a pair of gloves at the start of Australia's innings which had extra webbing between the thumb and forefinger, a breach of law 40.2 of the code.

Gloves are off: Dhoni was forced to change

Jeff Crowe of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees said: "After I raised my concern in the India dressing room, Dhoni immediately changed his gloves on the advice of the India team management which was a reasonable thing to do.

"These gloves were then inspected after the match by the third umpire, myself and later by the two on-field umpires. The three umpires ruled that the gloves were in breach of Laws of Cricket.

"Dhoni has not been penalised on this occasion but he has been advised that if he uses the gloves again before they have been modified, inspected and cleared, he could be charged for a breach of Clause C1 of the Code of Conduct."

India fast bowler Ishant Sharma also found himself in hot water following the match at the SCG, receiving a fine of 15% of his match fee for pointing Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds the way to the pavilion after bowling him in the 47th over.
