In the recent IPL 2025 showdown between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings at the New PCA Stadium, New Chandigarh, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell found himself in hot water for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
Maxwell’s violation, categorized as a Level 1 offense under Article 2.2, involved the abuse of fixtures and fittings during the match.
As a result, he was fined 25% of his match fees and received one demerit point. The Australian cricketer admitted to his actions and accepted the Match Referee’s decision, which is deemed final and binding for Level 1 offences.
While Punjab Kings narrowly missed a win in the exciting contest, Maxwell’s penalty was a reminder to players about maintaining decorum, regardless of the heat of competition.
The IPL Code of Conduct continues to play an essential role in ensuring fair play and sportsmanship in the league’s electrifying matches.
