Here's The Rule That Virat Kohli Flouted

When it comes to the IPL Code of Conduct, Article 2.1 states that the phrase “during a Match” should be interpreted broadly to cover all conduct which takes place at the ground on the day of a Match, and not just conduct which takes place on the field of play, for example in the changing rooms, or during any of the intervals in the Match.

Updated IPL 2025 Points Table

RCB have now six points in their kitty and are sitting comfortably in the third place with a healthy NRR of 1.015. Delhi Capitals are the only team not to lose any matches and have remained at the top of the table, followed by the Gujarat Titans , who thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game.

SRH are languishing at the bottom of the table with just one point in their tally and they need to start winning matches very soon. Mumbai are in the 8th place and if Chennai Super Kings get the better of Punjab Kings , they would manage to leapfrog Hardik Pandya's team.
