Mumbai, Apr 26 (IBNS): Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli has been fined Rs 12 lakh by the IPL governing body for slow over rate.

"As it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Kohli was fined Rs 12 lakh," an IPL press release said.

The incident took place on Wednesday during the high-octane encounter between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Chennai Super Kings at the former's backyard.

The match, which recorded 33 sixes, was won by the Tamil Nadu based side.

MS Dhoni, who was adjudged the man of the match, made a mockery of a competitive target of 206 runs, reaching it with two balls to spare.

The former Indian skipper, who was at his brutal best, bludgeoned seven sixes en-route his 34-ball 70.

The full release read:

"Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 match against Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru on 25th April.

As it was his team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Kohli was fined Rs 12 lakh."
