Dinesh Karthik Reprimanded For IPL Code of Conduct Breach

In the latest IPL 2022 developments, RCB finisher Dinesh Karthik has been reprimanded for breaching Indian Premier League’s Code of Conduct. The incident took place during Royal Challenger Bangalore’s Eliminator match against Lucknow Super Giants on 25th May at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

According to the statement released by IPL, Dinesh Karthik has admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.3 of IPL Code of Conduct and has accepted its sanction.

Dinesh Karthik is having a great season so far. He was bought by RCB at the mega auction for INR 5.50 crore. Currently his batting average of 64.80 in IPL 2022, is the highest batting average so far. He has smashed 324 runs in 15 matches.

Karthik has been a key factor behind RCB’s many wins this season and he has been terrific in his role of a finisher, specially when RCB was looking for someone like him to fill the void left by AB de Villiers.

In the Eliminator match against Lucknow Super Giants, Karthik partnered with Rajat Patidar to smash a 92-run partnership to post a total of 207 runs. Karthik scored 37 runs off 23 deliveries while Patidar put up a brilliant century in his name and helped the team to secure a place in the 2nd Qualifier against Rajasthan Royals.

As a result of his impressive performance in the IPL, Dinesh Karthik has been picked for India's T20I squad selected for the 5-match home series against South Africa in June.
