Pant was fined INR 24 lakhs since it was his team’s second offense of the season in relation to minimum over-rate offenses under the IPL’s Code of Conduct.
The Delhi Capitals captain, Rishabh Pant, has been fined for his team’s sluggish over-rate during their April 3 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Pant was fined INR 24 lakhs since it was his team’s second offense of the season in relation to minimum over-rate offenses under the IPL’s Code of Conduct. Each of the remaining players in the playing eleven, including the Impact Player, received a punishment of INR 6 lakhs or twenty-five percent of their respective match costs, whichever was smaller.
Pant was previously penalized for continuing to overrate the ball slowly against the Chennai Super Kings in Vizag, which they won by 20 runs. Regarding their most recent encounter, where the KKR veterans performed at a higher level, Pant and his team were defeated by an overwhelming 106 runs. With his 85 off 39, Narine set the tone for the match. Meanwhile, U19 sensation Angkrish Raghuvanshi dazzled with his 41 off 19. Due to all of this, KKR scored 272 runs, which is the second-highest IPL total ever.
Delhi frequently lost wickets early on and was never in the chase. Even though captain Rishabh Pant scored 55 off 25 and appeared to be making a comeback, it was insufficient in front of a large target. To help DC’s pursuit, Tristan Stubbs contributed 54 off 32 as well. Narine’s performance of 85 runs and one wicket in his allotted four overs earned him the title of player of the match. With a remarkable NRR of +2.51, KKR now sits atop the points table with 6 points.
