Virat Kohli fined 50 percent of matchfee for angry outburst at umpires

A Level 1 offence under Article 2.8 of the IPL Code of Conduct pertains to “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision”.

Kohli had been involved in a heated argument with the on-field umpire on Sunday at Eden Gardens after he was deemed out off what he made as a possible waist high no ball.

In the third over of RCB’s chase, Harshit Rana delivered a full toss that was dipping at Kohli and deceived him in flight. Until then, Kohli had been batting superbly, but he didn’t read this, and only managed to guide the ball back to Rana in his follow-through. He immediately signalled for a review, but these decisions don’t come under DRS. The umpires were going to review it anyway.
