Lucknow Super Giants captain Rahul has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee for an unspecified offence, which took place during his side's game against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Stoinis, meanwhile, also accepted an accusation of a level one breach and was reprimanded.

The IPL did not identify the precise nature of Stoinis's indiscretion either, though he was seen arguing with an umpire during the Super Giants' innings.
RCB won the game by 18 runs, thanks in the main to a superb innings by Faf du Plessis and a disciplined bowling spell from Josh Hazlewood.
The South African hit 96 from 64 balls at the top of the order, helping his team reach 181 for 6 from their 20 overs.
Hazlewood then strangled the chase, returning figures of 4 for 25 from his four overs, as Lucknow could only reach 163 for 8 at the close.
