Delhi Capitus’s bowling coach Munaf Patel was sentenced to a fine of 25% of his match costs and accumulated a demerit point for breaking the IPL code of driving during the raised octane match against the Royals of Rajasthan. The match went down over Wednesday evening with DC winning the Thriller Edge of the-Seat in a super plus after the two teams were equal to 188 points. The old Indian stimulator “admitted level 1 offense under article 2.20 of the IPL code of conduct, which concerns conduct contrary to the spirit of the game,” said a declaration of the IPL.
