IPL further added, “Marcus Stoinis from Lucknow Super Giants has been reprimanded for breaching the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.” Although Stoinis’s details also remain unclear, it is likely to be his argument with an umpire during an over off pacer Josh Hazlewood, where he was denied a wide delivery.
