For violating the IPL Code of Conduct during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Virat Kohli has been penalised 10% of his match money.In accordance with IPL Code of Conduct Article 2.2, Kohli acknowledged to the Level 1 offense. The Match Referee’s judgment is final and binding for Level 1 Code of Conduct violations, according to a BCCI press release.
The event that resulted in Kohli’s violation of the Code of Conduct was not specifically mentioned in the announcement, but it is most likely that it was because of his boisterous celebration when CSK all-rounder Shivam Dube was dismissed.
The incident occurred after RCB left-arm pacer Wayne Parnell bowled a full delivery on Shivam Dube’s pads in the 17th over of the CSK innings. The lanky CSK all-rounder, who up until that time had been hitting the ball like a pro, got the toe of his bat caught by Mohammed Siraj just inches from the long-on boundary.
RCB made a roaring recovery in the chase thanks to captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell, despite losing two quick wickets. The international stars quickly reached their individual fifties by mauling the CSK bowlers to all corners of the Chinnaswamy. However, once they were all out in a row, the middle order of the RCB lacked the firepower to pursue the objective. They missed by eight runs.
