Rishabh Pant Banned For One IPL 2024 Match, Rs 30 Lakh Fine Imposed For Maintaining Slow Over Rate

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday imposed one match ban on Delhi Capital's skipper Rishabh pant and imposed fine of Rs 30 Lakh for breaching the India Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match 56 against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on May 07, 2024.

As it was his team's third offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Rishabh Pant was fined INR 30 Lac and suspended for one match. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 12 Lac or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.

As per Article 8 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Delhi Capitals filed an appeal challenging the ruling of the Match Referee. Following this, the appeal was referred to the BCCI Ombudsman for review. The Ombudsman conducted a virtual hearing and affirmed that the decision of the Match Referee remains final and binding.
