Code of conduct violation in IPL 2024
10 code of conduct violations were recorded in IPL 2024, which necessitated the implementation of strict and uniform rules.
Harshit Rana (KKR) was found guilty of two Level 1 offences, including a flying-kiss send-off to SRH’s Mayank Agarwal and an aggressive celebration against Delhi Capitals. For this he was fined 160% of his match fee and suspended for one match. Other players including Virat Kohli (RCB), Tim David (MI) were also fined for Level 1 offences.
Possible impact of ICC rules
Adoption of ICC rules is likely to result in tougher penalties for crimes. This will help in preventing such controversial celebrations and behavior in future.
