IPL 2025: LSG skipper Pant fined for slow over rate third time this season
In a season marked by challenges, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant has been fined ₹30 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during his team's final IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. This penalty marks LSG's third over-rate offence of the season, resulting in the maximum fine imposed on a captain under the IPL's Code of Conduct. The rest of the playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each fined ₹12 lakh or 50 per cent of their match fees, whichever is lesser. Despite Pant's valiant unbeaten 118 off 61 balls, LSG succumbed to RCB's formidable chase, concluding their season with a disappointing loss. Repeated offences lead to maximum penalty The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Pant was penalised ₹30 lakh as this was LSG's third violation under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences.

This stringent enforcement underscores the IPL's commitment to maintaining match timings and ensuring fair play.

RCB's victory secured their spot in Qualifier 1, while LSG concluded their season with a disappointing loss. Pant's performance was a silver lining in an otherwise challenging season for LSG, highlighting his resilience and determination.

RCB's Blunder: Rajat Patidar Named In Playing 11, Jitesh Says He's Impact Player
Last Updated: RCB made a big blunder before their match vs LSG, putting Rajat Patidar in the bowling first playing 11, despite stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma saying he was the Impact Player. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)'s full-time skipper Rajat Patidar is again not leading the team for the crucial match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday (May 27). Rajat Patidar will be used as an Impact Player against LSG (BCCI Photo) Stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma came out at the toss and opted to bowl first, mentioning that Patidar would be the team's Impact Player. This seemed to be because of his finger injury in the right hand, which kept him out of the fielding innings for the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, too. However, interestingly, he was mentioned in the team's 'bowling first' playing 11 official sheet. The broadcasters also showed him in the 11, but he didn't come out to the field either. That suggests that the RCB team personnel made a mistake in the official sheet. 'We will field first. Looks like a good wicket, we'll fancy to chase. Rajat Patidar is our impact player. Looking to win and make it into the top-2. Tim David misses out, Liam comes in, so does Thushara, he replaces Ngidi who left the team," Jitesh said at the toss. advetisement Since the Impact Player rule has come into being, captains carry two team sheets to the toss. If they bowl first, they provide the opposite captain with a sheet with more bowlers (and plan to bring in another batter as the Impact sub), and vice-versa for batting first. RCB's bowling first playing 11 had an extra batter in Patidar and no leg-spinner Suyash Sharma, who is generally the Impact Player coming in when they bat first. Later, it was revealed that RCB was allowed to make the correction in the sheet. And a photo of the original sheet being corrected with Suyash and Patidar's names was seen circulating on social media and the broadcasters also changed the 11s, showing the leg-spinner instead of the middle-order batter. Former India and RCB coach Sanjay Bangar on the commentary feed suggested that LSG could have rejected the correction and asked the visitors to play with the 11 they gave. This could have been disastrous for RCB for they'd have had to not only field a half-fit Patidar but also played with a fewer bowler in the first innings. Watch CNN-News18 here.
