Rishabh Pant, captain of the Delhi Capitals, has been fined and suspended for one match for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct, the league announced in a press release on Saturday. The suspension means Rishabh Pant will miss the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday.
The heavy rap on the knuckles for Rishabh Pant came because his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match 56 of the Indian Premier League 2024 against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on May 07.
A statement from IPL stated: “As it was Rishabh Pant’s team’s third offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 30 Lakh and suspended for one match. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either Rs 12 Lakh or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.”
The statement added: “As per Article 8 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Delhi Capitals filed an appeal challenging the ruling of the Match Referee. Following this, the appeal was referred to the BCCI Ombudsman for review. The Ombudsman conducted a virtual hearing and affirmed that the decision of the Match Referee remains final and binding.
