Virat Kohli, during Royal Challengers Bangalore’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders, was fined 50% of his match fees for violating the IPL Code of Conduct. The incident occurred when Kohli was given out by third umpire Michael Gough after hitting a high full-toss from Harshit Rana. Despite Kohli’s objection to the decision, the match referee’s sanction was accepted.

The controversial dismissal sparked a debate as Kohli expressed his displeasure over the decision, believing the ball to be above waist height. The subsequent review upheld the umpire’s decision, leading to Kohli’s dismissal.

RCB’s poor form in the IPL 2024 has been further compounded by this incident, as they find themselves at the bottom of the table after six consecutive losses. Their upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad poses a significant challenge for the struggling team.
