Kohli Fined after Loss to CSK in Bengaluru IPL Clash

Royal Challengers Bangalore player Virat Kohli has found himself in hot water after being fined 10 per cent of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during a recent match against the Chennai Super Kings. The specifics of Kohli’s infraction weren’t made clear in the statement, but speculation has it that it might have been due to his celebratory outburst following a wicket. The incident in question was reportedly the dismissal of Shivam Dube, who had performed spectacularly, striking 52 runs in just 27 balls to help CSK achieve a daunting score of 226/6. Despite the loss, the RCB team’s star batter is sure to keep his spirits up and keep fighting in the coming matches.
