Despite a remarkable victory against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore's star batsman Virat Kohli is in the spotlight. During the match, after being caught out off a full toss from Hardik Pandya, Kohli appeared extremely disappointed.
A video that has gone viral on social media shows him angrily throwing his gloves and helmet to the ground while returning to the pavilion. Although Kohli played a crucial innings of 50 runs off 38 balls, his frustration over how he got out was evident in his behavior. Following this incident, Kohli faces the possibility of disciplinary action from the BCCI.
Under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct, damaging cricket equipment or items on the field during a match is considered a Level 1 offense. Sports experts believe that Kohli could be fined 10 to 25 percent of his match fee and may also receive a demerit point. Currently, the official report from the match referee is awaited, after which a decision on the punishment will be made.
Amidst the controversies, Virat Kohli has also achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first batsman in the world to score 1000 runs (combined in IPL and Champions League) against Mumbai Indians. Kohli has scored 1030 runs in 37 matches against Mumbai.
In the match, RCB set a massive score of 240 runs, thanks to aggressive innings from Phil Salt (78) and captain Rajat Patidar (53). In response, Mumbai could only manage 222 runs, and RCB won the match by 18 runs, strengthening their position.
