Just days after he was docked Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate against Mumbai Indians, Rahul was fined 20 per cent on his match fees in the IPL 2022 match at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. “Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul has been fined 20 percent of his match-fee for breaching the TATA Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. Mr Rahul admitted to the Level 1 offence of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction,” an IPL statement read.
Australian all-rounder Stoinis was also found guilty of breaching Code of Conduct. Stoinis had remonstrated animatedly after being dismissed for 24 off 15 by Josh Hazlewood of RCB.
“Marcus Stoinis from Lucknow Super Giants has been reprimanded for breaching the TATA Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. Mr Stoinis admitted to the Level 1 offence of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction.
