IPL 2025 Code of Conduct Infringements: Shreyas Iyer Penalized
Let's Dish the Tea on IPL Penalties in 2025
Alright, folks, buckle up! We're spilling the beans on the nitty-gritty of players penalized for breaking the rules in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL).
So, what's the deal? Well, let me break it down for you. If a team fails to maintain a decent over rate according to Clause 12.6 of the IPL Playing Conditions, they're playing with fire, my friend. A team should be able to complete 14.11 overs per hour. In uninterrupted matches, the 20th over should finish within 90 minutes of the start of the innings[1][2]. For matches with fewer overs, the time limit gets reduced.
Now, if a team falls short, they'll face consequences. For a first offense, the team captain gets fined a hefty sum of INR 12 lakh[1][2]. That's a pretty penny, let me tell ya! If the team captain is neither playing nor serving as the Impact Player, the designated captain of the playing XI will cough up the cash[1].
A second offense doubles the fine for the captain (INR 24 lakh) and levies a smaller fine (INR 6 lakh or 25% of the match fee, whichever is lower) on the other team members[1][2]. But here's the twist: suspensions for over-rate offenses have been axed for IPL 2025[2].
Captains shouldn't think they can wiggle out of trouble by passing the buck. If they try to swap captaincy without notifying the BCCI in writing, the penalties will still be enforced[1].
Now, let's take a look at which teams and players have been caught in the act this season.
The Players List:
- Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians): Fined INR 12 lakh for a slow over rate during their match against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad[1][4].
- Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals): Fined INR 12 lakh as a stand-in captain during Match 11 vs CSK for a first over-rate breach[1][4].
- Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants): Fined INR 12 lakh for a first over-rate breach in Match 16 vs MI[1].
- Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru): Fined INR 12 lakh for a slow over rate during their match against Mumbai Indians[1].
- Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals): Fined INR 24 lakh (second offense) in Match 23 vs GT; teammates fined ₹6 lakh each despite Riyan leading during the first match[1][2][4].
- Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals): Fined INR 12 lakh for a slow over rate during their home match against MI at Delhi[1].
- Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans): Fined INR 12 lakhs for falling behind on their over rate in their home match against DC[1].
