Rajasthan Royals’ Shimron Hetmyer Fined For IPL Code Of Conduct Breach

Rajasthan Royals’ cricketer Shimron Hetmyer has incurred a fine amounting to 10 per cent of his match fees.

This occurred as he violated the IPL Code of Conduct during the Qualifier 2 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday night.

According to an official statement released by the IPL on Saturday, Hetmyer committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct.
