BCCI fines LSG captain Rishabh Pant for breach of IPL Code of Conduct during thumping win over CSK

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has handed Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant a fine of Rs 12 lakh for his team maintaining a slow over rate during the clash against the Chennai Super Kings on Friday, May 15. Pant's side was found to have breached the over-rate offence, which led to the fine.

"As this was his team?s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL?s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum



over-rate offences, Rishabh Pant was fined INR 12 lakhs," the IPL body said in a statement.

Pant joins a long list of over-rate offenders this season as the BCCI has hit several captains with fines. The Indian Board recently Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins for the slow-over rate during the Gujarat Titans clash on May 12. The likes of Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill have also been fined for their teams' slow-over rates this season.
