It was the season’s first overrated offense for the RCB.
PBKS lost to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday by three wickets. Sam Curran, on the other hand, was fined half of his match costs for a Level 1 infraction under Article 2.8 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which relates to “showing dissent at an umpire’s decision.”
