Why Kohli is Unlikely to be Banned?
Why Kohli is Unlikely to be Banned: Players exhibit anger in all forms of sports, and occasionally this aggression escalates into inciting and defaming others. Such events have occurred in cricket throughout the years, and one such arena where hostility in the form of words or gestures is considered offensive is the Indian Premier League.
Because of his popularity, Virat Kohli, who is infamous for his aggressiveness, is frequently the focus of attention when it comes to the penalties meted out to him or even ignores them.
The penalties for violating the Code of Conduct are outlined in Article 7 of the Code of Conduct. “The imposition of a fine of between 50- 100% of the applicable match fee and/or a suspension of up to two matches” if they have committed one previous offense.

Why does Virat Kohli doesn’t get Fined for his Gestures?
The King of Indian cricket has always been a topic of discussion, his aggression has always proven to be a game changer but sometimes it crosses the line. In this Indian Premier League 2024 there were such incidents where Virat Kohli was not fined for his aggressive gestures, this mainly took the limelight when other small/young players were getting punished for their gestures.
So some critics and fans ask the officials why Virat Kohli is been ignored from being punished. If found guilty, this will be Kohli’s second infraction of the IPL Code of Conduct. He was previously fined for displaying disapproval towards the umpire after being controversially dismissed during RCB’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.
Recent Incidents of Virat Kohli Gesture vs Harshit Rana Kissing Gesture
In the current IPL 2024, Harshit Rana, a bowler for the Kolkata Knight Riders, was fined 100% of his match costs and given a one-match suspension for his flying-kiss gesture after taking a wicket. Virat Kohli, though, did a comparable thing against Shahrukh Khan a few days ago when he brilliantly threw the Gujarat Titans hitter out.
However, Kohli did not receive the same penalty as Harshit. While fielding close by, Kohli snatched the ball with lightning speed, unscrewing the bails, and planted a kiss on the eliminated batsman. It was a motion not unlike what Harshit made. As previously stated, given his popularity and the fact that he consistently performs at this level, Virat may go unnoticed.
