Riyan Parag, the stand-in skipper for Rajasthan Royals, was fined by the BCCI for a slow over-rate during their match against Chennai Super Kings. This was the team’s first offence in the ongoing IPL season, resulting in a hefty fine of INR 12 lakhs for Parag. He became the second captain to be penalized for this offense, following Hardik Pandya of Mumbai Indians. The BCCI has implemented a new policy where captains will no longer face bans for slow over-rates but will be penalized with demerit points based on the severity of the offense. Despite the breach, Rajasthan Royals secured their first win in IPL 2025, defeating Chennai Super Kings with Wanindu Hasaranga and Sandeep Sharma playing pivotal roles. The team will now face Punjab Kings in their upcoming match.
