This was KKR's first violation of the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses this season.
"Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 match against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on April 21," IPL said in a statement.

"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 Morgan was fined Rs 12 lakh," it added.
As per the IPL guidelines, the captain of the erring team is docked Rs 12 lakh in fine on the first instance of slow over-rate. On the second instance during the season, the fine for the captain is doubled ( Rs 24 lakh) while every other member of playing XI is fined 25 percent of match fee or Rs 6 lakh, whichever is lesser.
