LSG vs. RCB: KL Rahul fined for Code of Conduct breaching. Rahul has been fined a total of 20% of his match fees.
KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, was found guilty of violating the IPL Code of Conduct during Tuesday’s game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (April 19). As a result, the right-handed batter has been fined 20% of his match fee. Rahul’s teammate Marcus Stoinis was also chastised for violating the Code of Conduct during the same game.
Although neither player’s breach was specified, Stoinis was most likely reprimanded for arguing with the umpire over a contentious wide call. RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood is said to have bowled a delivery outside the tramline. Stoinis was clearly irritated because the on-field umpire did not rule the ball wide. The Australian all-rounder was out on the very next ball, and his frustration was palpable. In the meantime, both players have admitted to the crime and accepted the charges.
