During the recent match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore, opener Jason Roy was found guilty of violating the Indian Premier League Code of Conduct, resulting in a fine of 10% of his match fees.
Despite scoring an impressive 56 runs off 29 balls, Roy was visibly agitated after being dismissed and struck one of the bails with his bat, which constituted a breach of the IPL Code of Conduct. Roy accepted responsibility for the Level 1 offense.
