Rubber Plant Leaf Turned Black Brown

recently got a rubber plant and have been keeping it indoors. Today morning, I noticed one of the leaf with a lit of black spots, the remaining leaves seem to be doing fine at the moment. What could be the reason of this one turning black brown? The plant has been kept in indirect sunlight

These are very susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. This can indicate that soil remains too wet for too long without an adequate period to dry out down to 2 inches or so.

From here, you will need to use a fungicide, and watch your watering. These articles will help:
