IPL 2024: BCCI imposed a fine of Rs 12 lakh on Hardik Pandya, action taken due to slow overrate

The captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), Hardik Pandya, has been fined Rs 12 lakh by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). At the Maharaja Yadvinder Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mumbai defeated the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by nine wickets, despite this. However, Pandya committed a serious error during this period. They were forced to bear the consequences as a result of this.

It was the Mumbai Indians team's failure to complete its overs in time during this match. Due to his slow overrate, Captain Pandya has been fined. He might receive a match ban if this continues in the future. Mumbai Indians were 2 overs behind the scheduled time, due to which the team had to keep an extra fielder in the 30-yard circle in the 19th and 20th overs.

BCCI issued a press release and said in its statement, 'Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has been fined after maintaining a slow over-rate against Punjab Kings. Since this was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL code of conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Pandya has been fined Rs 12 lakh.

This is the first offence of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, hence the captain has been fined only Rs 12 lakh. If the team makes such a mistake for the second time in the season, then the captain will be fined Rs 24 lakh instead of Rs 12 and the team's Other players will also have to face punishment. If this mistake is committed for the second time, the remaining players of the team will be fined Rs 6 lakh or 25% of the match fee (whichever is less). If the team commits this mistake for the third time, the captain will be banned for one match along with a fine of Rs 30 lakh and the rest of the team players will be fined Rs 12 lakh each or 50% of their match fee.
