Indian Premier League (IPL) has imposed Rs 12 lakh fine on Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli for maintaining slow over-rate during the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) held at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday.
Besides a hefty fine, Kohli also received an official reprimand for slow over-rate throughout his side’s innings in the clash, which Chennai Super Kings won by five wickets.
An IPL release said that “as it was his team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses, Kohli was fined Rs 12 lakh.” CSK defeated RCB by chasing the target of 206 runs with the help of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (70 not out off 34 deliveries) and Ambati Rayudu’s 53-ball 83. After the defeat, RCB stood at the sixth position with just four points in their account. It won only two matches so far.
