Pat Cummins, the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, was fined for maintaining a sluggish over rate during an IPL match in Ahmedabad versus Gujarat Titans. Cummins received a Rs 12 lakh 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, Cummins was fined INR 12 lakhs,” the IPL said in a statement.
SRH were crushed by GT by 82 runs. After chasing GT’s 168/5, SRH were dismissed for a pitiful 86 in 14.5 overs.
