Mr. Roy admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct," the statement read.
“For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding,” it further said.
The English opener fired in a 29-ball 56 to propel KKR to 200/5 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the game, as the Knight Riders registered a 21-run win in Bengaluru. This was KKR's third win of the season in eight games, as the side moved to seventh spot in the league table.
KKR had been going through a rough patch of late, conceding four losses on the trot before their game against the Royal Challengers on Wednesday night. Opting to bowl at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the RCB bowlers were taken to cleaners by Roy early in the game, as he raced to his half-century in merely 22 deliveries. However, Vijaykumar Vyshak castled Roy in the final ball of the 10th over, leading to the opener's angry outburst.
Nitish Rana's brilliant 48, alongside Rinku Singh (18*) and David Wiese's (12*) cameos propelled the Knight Riders to 200/5 in 20 overs. In the run-chase, Virat Kohli (54) held the side for a majority of the innings but his dismissal in the 13th over proved to be the game-changer, as the side fell 21 runs short.
