Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler was fined 10 per cent of his match fee by the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Thursday night.
Buttler had to give up his wicket for his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, who went on to hit a 13-ball half-century on his way to an unbeaten 98 as Rajasthan Royals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets.
Rajasthan Royals reached 151/1 in 13.1 overs thanks to Jaiswal's 98 not out and skipper Sanju Samson's 48 not out after their bowlers, led by Yuzvendra Chahal's 4-25, did brilliantly well to restrict the KKR to 149/8 after the hosts were asked to bat first at the Eden Gardens.

Buttler got into a terrible mix-up with Jaiswal, who kept running despite his England batsman raising his hand to indicate his reluctance to go for that early single. Buttler was furious with the way he was dismissed during the 150-run chase vs KKR.
"Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler has been fined 10 Percent of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during Match 56 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on May 11.
