“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 (IPL) match against Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 23, 2023,” an IPL statement read.
“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,” the statement concluded.
It is the second time Kohli has been fined this season. Earlier, Kohli was sanctioned for his behaviour on the field, with a 10% fine of his match fee levied. The RCB superstar had accepted the fine for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. It is believed Kohli was sanctioned for his aggressive send-off to Shivam Dube during the match.
