As a result, the team, including Virat Kohli, standing in as captain for the injured Faf du Plessis, received a fine for violating the IPL’s Code of Conduct. If the team repeats the offence in again, the consequences will include a ban for the captain. Despite their over-rate issues, Bangalore managed to clinch a seven-run victory over Rajasthan in a closely fought encounter.
