New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik has been reprimanded for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) IPL 2022 Eliminator match played at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens on Wednesday.

“For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the match referee’s decision is final and binding,” it added.
The official statement issued in a media advisory by IPL did not reveal or explain the reason for the breach. During LSG vs RCB IPL 2022 Eliminator match, Karthik notched up a fiery 23-ball 37 and stitched a solid unbeaten 92-run partnership off just 41 balls with 'centurion' Rajat Patidar for fifth wicket. Patidar, the uncapped RCB player playing his debut season, scored an unbeaten 112 off 54 balls, with help of seven sixes and 12 fours.
