Kohli To Pay 12 lakh Fine for Slow Over Rate

Kohli To Pay 12 lakh Fine for Slow Over Rate

News Desk: Yesterday, was definitely a bad day for the Royal Challengers. More than the entire team, it was the squad’s captain who was at fault last night for a few reasons. Captain Kohli made two major blunders in last night’s IPL match against Kings XI Punjab, which kind of  made their defeat inevitable. First he dropped K L Rahul’s catch not just once but twice and in the second half he was dismissed by Cottrell for just 1 run. It is for this reason the board has asked him to compensate by paying a fine of Rs 12 lakh.

K.L Rahul, the captain of Kings XI Punjab made the most of this occasion and went on to etch a victory for his team by scoring a-record hundred runs in yesterday’s IPL match against RCB.

These were not just the only blunders that RCB made, the team maintained a really slow over-rate against it’s opponent and lost the match by a margin of 97 runs. However, at the post match ceremony the RCB captain acknowledged that he and his team mates made.
