Virat Kohli, RCB players fined for slow over-rate during IPL clash against Rajasthan Royals
Royal Challengers Bangalore, who had named Virat Kohli as their captain for their game against Rajasthan Royals, was on Monday fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their IPL clash on Sunday.
As it was his team’s second offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Kohli was fined Rs 24 lakh and each member of the playing XI, including the impact substitute, was fined Rs 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is lesser, the IPL stated in a release.
RCB defeated the Royals seven runs.
Earlier this season, Kohli was fined 10 percent of his match fees as he ‘admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct’, after RCB’s contest against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here
