Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir has been fined for breaching the IPL code of conduct during his team’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Gambhir was seen kicking a chair as his team registered a stunning win over the Royal Challengers, and was slapped a 15 per cent fine by the IPL.

The KKR captain has accepted the fine given for breaching the Level 1 of the code of conduct, and there wasn’t a need of any formal hearing for the same.

IPL informed in a statement: Gautam Gambhir from the Kolkata Knight Riders team was fined 15% of his match fee for breaching the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru last evening.

Mr Gambhir admitted the Level 1 offence (Article 2.1.8) of abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match. For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding.

The Knight Riders are currently third in the points table, and they are set to face Kings XI Punjab in their next game tonight at the Eden Gardens.
