Kings XI Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the IPL 2019 match against Delhi Capi♔tals (DC) on Saturday.
Ashwin’s team have been found to have violated the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences and since this is their first such offense in the ongoing season, the off-spinner has been fined Rs 12 lakh.
Ashwin is not the first captain to🍒 have been penalised for slow over-rates this season. Before him, Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians), Ajinkya Rahane (Rajasthan Royals) and Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) have also incurred same punishment for the over-rate violation.
The current IPL season has also faced its fair share of criticism as more than a few matche✤s have extended to well ꧋beyond the stipulated time.
The contest at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi fini🌄shed seven minutes before midnight with two balls to𒀰 spare.
At the Kotla, the hosts finally broke the j꧅inx of not being able to win at home after half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan and captain Shreyas Iyer helped them chase down the target 163.
Swee🐷t victory for the who are at thꦫe No.3 rank on the points table.
