Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has been fined for violating the code of conduct in the 33rd match of IPL 2024 against Punjab Kings on Thursday. Hardik, who is captaining the Mumbai franchise, failed to complete 20 overs of bowling in the stipulated time and hence, he has been fined Rs 12 lakh. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed this in a statement. This was the first time that Hardik failed to meet the over-rate norms, hence only Rs 12 lakh was fined.
"Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has been fined as his team maintained a slow over-rate during the match against Punjab Kings at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur on April 18," the BCCI said in a statement. It was his team's first offense of the season under the IPL's code of conduct relating to minimum overrate. Therefore, a fine of Rs 12 lakh was imposed on Hardik. If this mistake is repeated then Hardik and other players of Mumbai Indians may be in big trouble.
