Mumbai: The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been fined after they maintained a slow over rate during their TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Rajasthan Royals at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on March 29.
As it was the team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson was fined Rs 12 lakhs.
The New Zealand international hence now became the second captain after Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma to be found guilty of this offence this season.
Notably, the overrate rules are pretty stringent and hence, captains must keep an eye on the clock. While the first offence will earn them a fine of INR 12 lakh, the amount will be doubled (INR 24 lakh) if any team’s skipper is found committing the offence twice.
If it occurs the third time, not only the officials will impose a penalty of INR INR 30 lakh, but the skipper would be banned for a match. The players will also have to pay fines from the second offence onwards.
