IPL 2021: RCB captain Virat Kohli fined for slow over-rate after 69-run defeat vs CSK

IPL 2021: RCB captain Virat Kohli has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate against CSK on Sunday. Bangalore slipped to the 2nd spot after losing the match by 69 runs.

After losing the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 69 runs on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli was fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate. The IPL organisers took a note of matches slipping beyond the scheduled finish time in the last few seasons and made sure they came up with strict regulations when it came to over-rates. According to IPL 2021 Code of Conduct, the minimum over-rate in the 14th season should be 14.1 overs per hour, ignoring the time taken for strategic time-outs. In uninterrupted matches, the BCCI wants teams to finish bowling their quota of 20 overs within 90 minutes.
