IPL 2026: Nandre Burger Fined For Code Of Conduct Breach
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Nandre Burger was fined 10 per cent of his match fees and received one demerit point for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during the team’s recent match against Lucknow Super Giants. RR clinched a 40-run victory after restricting the Rishabh Pant-led side to 119 in 18 overs in their chase of 160 runs.
The South Africa international admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.5, which relates to using language, actions, or gestures that could disparage or provoke an aggressive response from another player during the match.
During the match on Wednesday, Burger was gestured aggressively and was seen using abusive language towards LSG kipper Pant after dismissing him for a duck. He took two key wickets, including that of Mitchell Marsh, in a low-scoring match, helping RR clinch a crucial win.
