Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star player Jason Roy has been fined ten percent of his match fee for violating the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during the IPL 2023 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
After being dismissed, the English opener angrily hit one of the bails, for which he admitted to the Level 1 offense under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct. The IPL stated that the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding for Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct.

Despite Roy’s misconduct, KKR scored a massive total of 200 with the help of Roy and captain Nitish Rana, who scored a quick-fire 21-ball 48 against RCB.
In response, RCB lost Faf du Plessis early for 17 and Glenn Maxwell for just 5. Virat Kohli continued his fine form with his fifth IPL 2023 half-century but eventually got caught by Venkatesh Iyer, who took a blinder on the boundary off the bowling of Andre Russell. KKR spinners Suyash Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy took five RCB wickets at the expense of just 57 runs in eight overs.
This was KKR’s second win over RCB in IPL 2023, with their first win being against the Bangalore franchise at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR’s next game is against defending champions Gujarat Titans on April 29, while Royal Challengers Bangalore will play against Lucknow Super Giants on May 1.
