The slow over-rate rule has been causing headaches for IPL captains in the ongoing 2024 season. Several skippers have already faced harsh penalties from the BCCI for violating the rule. Let’s take a look at the list of captains fined for slow over-rates so far in IPL 2024:
Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans)
Gill was fined Rs 12 lakh for his first offense of maintaining a slow over-rate during Gujarat Titans’ match against Chennai Super Kings.
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)
Pant has been fined twice for the same violation. First, he was docked Rs 12 lakh against Lucknow Super Giants, and then another Rs 24 lakh against Kolkata Knight Riders. He could face a one-match ban if he repeats the offense.
Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals)
Despite Rajasthan Royals’ strong start, captain Sanju Samson was fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow over-rate against Gujarat Titans.
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders)
In a recent high-scoring thriller between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 12 lakh for his team’s slow over-rate.
The slow over-rate rule has been strictly enforced by the BCCI, with captains being penalized with hefty fines for their initial offenses. To this end, repeater offenders could face harsher sanctions such as one-match bans and increased financial fines. As the 2024 IPL season continues, captains will be under more pressure to maintain their teams’ consistency.
