Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Punjab Kings.
Pandya is the second player after Faf du Plessis and Sanju Samson to have been penalised for the over-rate offence in the 2023 edition.
"As it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Pandya was fined Rs. 12 lakh," an IPL media advisory said on Friday.
Gujarat defeated Lucknow, their third win of the ongoing season and takes them to third place on the points table, while Punjab were given their second loss of the tournament.
“To be very honest I would not appreciate for the game to go this deep. There was definitely a lot for us to learn from this game. That’s the beauty of sports, it’s never over till it’s over. I would like to finish the game earlier, not a big fan of taking it to the last over," GT captain Hardik Pandya had said after the end of the match.
