Ramandeep's breach constituted a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 of the Code, covering conduct contrary to the spirit of the game not explicitly addressed elsewhere. The severity of the offence is assessed based on various factors, including intent and context.
Despite the penalty, Ramandeep's crucial unbeaten 17 runs, capped by a final-ball six off Jasprit Bumrah, contributed significantly to KKR's total of 157/7, which ultimately led to their victory.
