Notably, Hardik was penalised (Rs 12 lakh) for the primary time when Mumbai Indians failed to full their overs in time towards Punjab Kings within the thirty third recreation of IPL 2024. His second sluggish over-rate offence got here within the forty eighth fixture when Mumbai travelled to the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow to face KL Rahul‘s LSG.
“As it was his team’s third offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Pandya was fined INR 30 lakhs and banned from playing the team’s next match,” mentioned an IPL media launch.
“The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 12 lakhs or 50 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser,” the discharge added.
