New Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul has been fined Rs 24 lakhs for maintaining the slow-over rate in the IPL 2022 match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
“KL Rahul was fined ₹24 lakhs and the rest of the members in the playing eleven were fined ₹6 lakhs or 25 per cent of their match fee, whichever is lower,” said the IPL in a statement.
“This was the team’s second offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences,” it further read.
Rahul’s ton helped Lucknow record their fifth win of the season and secure fourth position on the points table.
The 30-year-old opener smacked 12 fours and four sixes overall during his 62-ball stay to score his fourth IPL hundred overall. It was his third IPL century against Mumbai, who hit a new low to suffer their eighth consecutive loss of the season.
