RCB batter Tim David was pumped up after his team successfully eliminated the Mumbai Indians at Raipur. However, his overexcitement led him to commit an offensive act, which has now led to a massive penalty.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated the Mumbai Indians, registering a win in their first-ever match at a second home venue in Raipur. With this win they have taken a massive leap and are now at the top of the points table with seven wins after eleven games.
Tim David gets reprimanded with penalty after offensive act against MI
The Royal Challengers might have registered their second victory against the Mumbai Indians this season; however, the match remained one of the most tightly fought contests of this edition of the IPL. Mumbai, despite having posted a low target, was leaving no stone unturned to defend it.
After a thrilling final-over finish, where RCB at one stage needed 16 runs, the dugout was on its feet as soon as the winning run was completed. Tim David in that dugout was mad with joy, and in the heat of the moment, he busted out with an offensive gesture to celebrate the win.
He has been fined 30% of his match fees and has also been handed two demerit points after being booked under the breach of Article 2.6 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct.
