Star Player Fined ₹24 Lakh for Code of Conduct Breach After CSK vs PBKS IPL 2026 Match
The IPL also fined the entire Punjab Kings playing contingent after the repeat violation under Article 2.22.
- On Friday, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer was fined INR 24 lakh for a slow over-rate breach during his team's victory over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, marking his second consecutive violation this season.
- The Indian Premier League shifted its disciplinary approach, prioritizing financial penalties and in-game fielding restrictions over outright match bans that previously suspended captains after three slow over-rate violations.
- Iyer anchored the chase with a brisk 50 off 29 deliveries, while young batsman Ayush Mhatre contributed 73 off 43 balls to help PBKS successfully chase the 210-run target set by CSK.
- Under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the penalty extends beyond the captain; every member of the playing XI, including the Impact Player, received fines for the repeated violation.
- Sanctions imposed by the match referee add points to a player's official tally, which remain on record for 36 months, reflecting the International Cricket Council's demerit-point approach to repeat offenses.
