Following Rajasthan Royals' recent victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 22, South African pacer Nandre Burger has been sanctioned by the BCCI for a breach of the IPL Code of Conduct.

While his performance on the field was instrumental in RR’s 40-run win, Nandre Burger’s conduct during the match has drawn a penalty from the league’s governing body.

This isn't the only off-field headline for RR this week. The team manager, Romi Bhinder, was also recently fined ₹1 lakh and given a warning after being caught using a mobile phone in the dugout during a game against RCB - a violation of the anti-corruption protocol (PMOA).

With RR currently sitting at No. 2 in the points table, the management will be eager to ensure that these minor disciplinary lapses don't distract the squad as they head into the business end of the season.
