LSG vs DC IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant fined THIS huge amount, faces BAN later in tournament

Since IPL 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have got more stringent with team maintaining a slow over-rate. For the first offense of slow over-rate, the captain of an IPL team will be fined Rs 12 Lakhs. 

Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant’s Thursday (April 7) night didn’t go exactly as he had planned against the Lucknow Super Giants. DC slumped to their second loss of the season in three games as KL Rahul’s LSG won a nail-biter at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by six wickets with two balls to spare.

Pant’s night got even worse when BCCI announced that Delhi Capitals were being fined for maintaining a slow over-rate. The DC skipper was fined Rs 12 lakh since this was the team’s first offence.

“The Delhi Capitals have been fined after they maintained a slow over rate during their TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai on April 7,” an IPL statement read.

“As it was the team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 12 lakhs,” the statement added.
