New Delhi: As IPL 2024 enters its business end with teams jostling for a spot in the playoffs, the pressure is rising and the stakes are higher. It can be judged by the time teams are taking to complete their overs. Over rate offences have become a norm like sixes in a T20 match.
The Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings IPL 2024 match at the Ekana Stadium on Friday was no different. Actually, it was in a way. It was the first match of this season’s IPL where both teams didn’t meet the over rate requirements.
Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings were found guilty of maintaining a slow over rate and as a result, their captains – LSG’s KL Rahul and CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad – were punished by the BCCI.
