It looked like Siraj was asking Phil to shut up. There are solid chances that the right-arm RCB pacer will be fined by the IPL organisers for his actions. In RCB's previous fixture, which they won against Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs, Virat Kohli was involved in a heated altercation with LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir and both were fined 100 percent of their match fee. As per a report in Cricbuzz, RCB pays fine for its players.
