Hardik Pandya fined 12 lakhs
In the match against Gujarat Titans, the bowlers of Mumbai Indians again bowled at the speed of the turtle, which has to bear the price of captain Hardik Pandya. For the first time in IPL 2025, Hardik has been fined 12 lakhs for the slow over rate crime.
The statement released by the IPL stated that, since it was the first crime of this session of his team under Article 2.2 of the IPL code of conduct, which is related to the minimum over -speed crimes, so Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs 12 lakh.
Will Hardik Pandya be banned again?
Let us know that the last season also made the same mistake by Mumbai Indians, due to which Hardik Pandya was banned for a match due to the slow over rate in IPL 2024. Hardik did not play in the first match of this season. Now the question arises that after repeating the same mistake once again, is Hardik’s danger of banning again? The answer is not.
According to the new rule made in IPL 2025, due to the slow over rate, no team will now be banned. If it is late in bowling this season, demerit marks will be added. According to the updated rules, the captains will have to face monetary punishment for slow over-rate and will submit demerit points, with 25% fine of their match fees. These points remain active for 36 months, and rigorous punishment can be given on repeated violations. For example, if a team reaches four demerit points, it can be fined 100%.
