Royal Challengers Bangalore all-rounder Shane Watson was today charged for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct by “using offensive language”. The incident, reported by the match referee, took place during RCB’s match against the Delhi Daredevils in Raipur on Sunday night, which the Bangalore side won.

"In the VIVO IPL match in Raipur last evening, Shane Watson of Royal Challengers Bangalore was reprimanded by the Match Referee for using language or a gesture which is deemed obscene, offensive or insulting during a match," read the official statement, released by the IPL.

"Mr. Watson admitted to the level 1 offence (Article 2.1.4 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials) and accepted the sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding," the statement said further.

Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Delhi Daredevils by 6 wickets to book their place in the final 4 of the IPL on the back of a 54-run knock by captain Virat Kohli and will face Gujarat Lions on Tuesday night in the first qualifier.

We started with 24 players and now we are left with only 8. Now, the competition will only get fiercer and the choice tougher. To start off, we have two Mumbai Indian bowling stalwarts; one a crafty off-spinner, and the other a fearsome fast bowler. Who will progress to the Semi-Finals?
