In a recent development, Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Rana have been reprimanded for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) code of conduct during the game between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Rana has received a fine of 10% of his match fee while Bumrah has been let off with a reprimand but the exact breach is yet to come to light.
