Rana, Bumrah fined 10% of match fees for breaking Level 1 Code of Conduct

Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were up against the five-time title holders, Mumbai Indians (MI), in match number 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 6, 2022. Having to bat first, the Rohit Sharma-led side reached a total of 161-4 in 20 overs after a slow start. However, the Knights managed to chase it down in just 16 overs, courtesy of a subliminal knock from Pat Cummins. 

While the side will be happy with the results, Nitish Rana must be a little sore after last night's performance. The batter could add eight runs to the total before Daniel Sams caught him as he tried to pull Murugan Ashwin's delivery in the twelfth over of the chase. 

Rana has been fined 10% of his match fees alongside Jasprit Bumrah for breaching the level one code of conduct. Bumrah was later reprimanded, and the financial penalty was withdrawn. While the IPL press release did not provide the season for the fine, Rana was allegedly penalised for throwing his bat at the sponsor LED board after getting dismissed.

The player has agreed to level one offence and has been penalised, while Bumrah has been warned for his conduct and asked to keep himself in check for the upcoming games. 

This weekend, Rana will be in action on April 10, as the Knight Riders square off against the Rishab Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 19 of the glitterati league.
