Rahul will be handed a one-match ban if he commits another slow over-rate offense.
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul has been found guilty of maintaining a slow over-rate during the clash against Mumbai Indians on Sunday (April 24). As this was Rahul’s second offence of the season, he has been fined a sum of INR 24 lakh. At the same time, the other members of the LSG playing XI have been fined INR 6 lakh or 25 per cent of the match fee, whichever is lower.
“The Lucknow Super Giants have been fined after they maintained a slow over-rate during their TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on April 24,” a statement read released by the IPL.
Meanwhile, LSG would be pretty pleased with the outcome of the contest as they thrashed the five-time champions by 36 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Skipper Rahul slammed his second ton of the season, helping his side post 168/6 in their allotted 20 overs while batting first. In reply, the Men in Blue and Gold never really looked in the hunt and were restricted for 132/8. As this was MI’s eighth defeat on the trot, they are all but out of the playoff race.
