Virat Kohli Smashes Chair Out of Frustration After His Wicket During RCB vs SRH, IPL 2021, Gets Reprimanded for Breach of IPL Code of Conduct (Watch Video)

Last night the Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a very narrow win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2021. They won by six runs and the team was pushed to number one on the points table. But here was this one incident that actually led to Virat Kohli being reprimanded by the IPL Governing Council. So the RCB captain went on to smash the chair in teh dugout after his wicket and the video of the act by Kohli is being circulated on social media. Kohli got out on the score of 33 and this surely didn’t go down well with the RCB skipper which led him to hit out at the chair. But the IPL Governing Council has reprimanded Kohli for the act.

The Indian Premier League released a statement reprimanding Kohli and said that the RCB skipper had been admitted to Level 1 offence 2.2 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. “For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee`s decision is final and binding,” a statement from IPL read. Since this is the first offence by Kohli, he was let off with a reprimand. But a repeated offence could result in a deduction of 50 to 100 percent of his match fee. Kohli could also be banned for two to four matches.

For now, let’s have a look at Virat Kohli’s act below:

Talking about Virat Kohli’s RCB, they have won a couple of games so far in the tournament. The team tops the table with four points in their kitty. Sunrisers Hyderabad has lost both games so far in IPL 2021.

Toronto outfielder George Springer loses temper after being ejected in 7th inning

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — George Springer knew he was going to be ejected for arguing after a replay call. That didn’t stop the Toronto Blue Jays outfielder from showing his frustration.

Springer got into a heated argument with home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez during the seventh inning of Toronto’s game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night after a replay review stood that Springer was not hit on the right foot by a pitch from Kenny Rosenberg.

Springer had to held back by Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and manager John Schneider after he was tossed.

“I know the rule. He knows the rule. I was just kind of in shock at that call,” Springer said after the Blue Jays’ 6-1 victory. “If you argue the call on that situation, it’s an automatic ejection. I get it.”

Springer said Gonzalez initially told him that he could not clearly see the play because of the angle that Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe took to block the ball in the dirt. At that point, the Blue Jays challenged the call.

Major League Baseball said in an email that replay official Adrian Johnson could not definitively determine that the ball struck Springer’s foot after viewing all relevant angles.

Springer said Gonzalez explained to him what replay saw. Springer voiced his frustration and as he was walking to get his bat, he was ejected, which caused Springer’s temper to boil over.

“I’ve got to be better. There’s kids in the stands, and I don’t want my sons to see me get that mad,” Springer said.

Gonzalez and the umpire crew were not available for comment because a report about the ejection is being submitted to the Commissioner’s Office for review.

Springer said he will deal with a fine or possible suspension if it comes to that, but he remains adamant that he was hit in the foot.

“I don’t need to see the replay. I’m not going to say it didn’t hit me if it didn’t hit me. I know it hit me in the foot, but it is what it is,” Springer said.
