Kolkata-Knight Riders (KKR) wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has been reprimanded for breaching the Indian Premier League’s code of conduct during the second Qualifier against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Sharjah on Wednesday, October 13.

Karthik dislodged a stump out of the ground in frustration after being dismissed during the high-voltage clash. After the match, the former KKR skipper admitted his mistake and also accepted the punishment.
