Once again, for the second game running, Virat Kohli has crossed the over-rate limit as a captain. Therefore, the IPL has levied another sanction on the superstar of Royal Challengers Bangalore after the game against the Rajasthan Royals. His teammates were also fined a portion of their match fees.
According to an IPL statement, "Royal Challengers Bangalore, who had named Mr. Virat Kohli as their captain for their game against Rajasthan Royals, has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their TATA Indian Premier League match against Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 23, 2023."
"As it was his team’s second offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Kohli has been fined Rs. 24 lakh, and each member of the playing XI, including the impact substitute, is fined Rs. 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is lesser."
This is the second time this season that Virat Kohli has been fined. Earlier, he was fined 10% of his match fees for his behaviour on the field. He had accepted the fine for breaching the IPL code of conduct.
