After the Lucknow Super Giants' thrilling last-over win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL 2023 match on Monday, April 10, fast bowler Avesh Khan was reprimanded for violating the IPL's Code of Conduct. Avesh admitted to the Level 1 offence, while RCB was fined for maintaining a slow over-rate in the second innings.

"Lucknow Super Giants’ Avesh Khan has been reprimanded for breaching the Code of Conduct. Mr Avesh admitted to level 1 offence 2.2 of IPL’s Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding," an IPL statement read.

RCB vs LSG encounter goes down to the wire

M Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB's home ground, hosted a spectacular game that ebbed and flowed before LSG defeated RCB by the slimmest of margins. More than 420 runs were scored and 27 sixes were hit, but it all came down to a missed slog and a bye, leaving all the Men in Red and Black disappointed.

RCB had scored 212, thanks to the fifties from captain Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell. Wayne Parnell, their new addition, got RCB off to a flying start with the ball, picking up two wickets in the powerplay to reduce LSG to 27 for 3.

Marcus Stoinis' 30-ball 65 and Nicholas Pooran's sensational 19-ball 62, however, tipped the scales in LSG's favour. RCB responded with late wickets, and the game was decided in the final over. Avesh missed a straight one from Harshal Patel with a run needed off the final delivery, but Dinesh Karthik fumbling with the gloves allowed Avesh and his partner Ravi Bishnoi to complete a bye and get the win.

Avesh and his LSG teammates were pumped, and the pacer let off some steam after the tense finish by tossing his helmet to the ground and celebrating the win, which would have resulted in a code of conduct violation.

Almost he did nothing in that match, gave 50 runs in bowling and can't even touch the ball when batting.
Looks like Ks bharat's six still hunting him

Avesh throws his helmet like he was Pooran. Dude couldn’t get bat on ball & was mm away from being bowled.
Bishnoi running and screaming like Aditya Tare in MIvsRR. Dude should have been run out 2x.
Everyone wants to be Kohli.
