Andy Flower, the head coach of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has been fined 15% of his match fee for a breach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during a match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday. Flower was found guilty of violating Article 2.3, which pertains to the use of audible obscenity, after he aggressively confronted the fourth official over a controversial decision that denied RCB a boundary in the 18th over. While Dinesh Karthik, who accompanied Flower, was not penalized, the league deemed that Flower's behavior crossed the line. Following the incident, the IPL Governing Council imposed the fine, which Flower accepted. Despite the tension, RCB emerged victorious, winning by two wickets on the last ball of the match, marking their seventh win of the season and placing them at the top of the points table. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was instrumental in the win, taking four wickets and hitting a crucial six that sealed the game, earning him the 'Player of the Match' title.
