Karthik's violation was classified as a Level 1 offence, and the match referee's verdict is final. The sentence was accepted by the experienced right-hander.

The official announcement did not specify why Karthik was reprimanded, although it was most likely due to the Dinesh Karthik's response after failing to make contact off an Avesh Khan ball in the final over of the RCB innings. Karthik moved across to attempt the ramp shot but failed to make contact. He was furious with himself and yelled angrily.
