Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir fined 100% match fees for verbal spat
May 2, 2023 8:11 AM
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.21 of the IPL Code of Conduct during the match between RCB and LSG
Despite being a veteran, Kohli does not exhibit the expected behavior. In an already decided match, he engaged in sledging a number 10 batsman named Naveen. Kohli was observed pointing towards the dirt on his shoes while targeting Naveen, which could potentially turn even his most devoted Afghan supporters against him.
This is not the first instance where Kohli has been fined for violating the Code of Conduct in the IPL. As a role model, Kohli's behavior sets a negative example for his fans.
Imposing a ban of 1-2 games may be necessary, as these fines are insignificant for players of Kohli's and Gambhir's stature. It is highly embarrassing for them to engage in a confrontation with a domestic player batting at number 10 in the IPL.
