Rajat Patidar, the skipper of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has been fined for his team’s slow over-rate during their recent match against Mumbai Indians. The fine was imposed as it was RCB’s first offence of the season under Article 2.2 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, specifically related to minimum over-rate offences. The amount of the fine was INR 12 lakhs.
Despite the fine, RCB is currently performing well in the IPL, sitting at third place in the points table with six points after four matches. The team’s recent 12-run victory over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai showcased their strong performance in the tournament.
Patidar’s leadership as the team’s captain will be crucial in ensuring that RCB maintains a better over-rate in future matches to avoid any further penalties. With a talented squad and a determined captain, RCB will look to continue their winning streak and climb up the points table in the upcoming matches.
Overall, the fine serves as a reminder for RCB to adhere to the IPL’s rules and regulations, but it also highlights the team’s dedication to improving their performance and striving for success in the tournament.
