Andy Flower (head coach of Royal Challengers Bengaluru) has been fined 15% of his match fee by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for breaching Article 2.3 of the IPL Code of Conduct during a match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The incident occurred in the 18th over when Flower confronted the fourth official over a controversial decision that denied RCB a boundary. While Dinesh Karthik, who accompanied Flower, was not penalized, Flower's aggressive behavior led to the fine. He accepted the sanction imposed by Match Referee Amit Sharma. Despite this controversy, RCB triumphed over MI by two wickets, moving to the top of the points table with their seventh win of the season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was recognized as the 'Player of the Match' for his outstanding all-round performance, taking four wickets and hitting a crucial six in the final moments. This marks the fourth time Kumar has surpassed 20 wickets in a single IPL season.
