Guwahati: Rajasthan Royals’ stand-in captain Riyan Parag has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow overrate during his team’s six-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League match at the ACA stadium in Guwahati.
RR posted 182/9 and then restricted CSK to 176/6, with Parag leading his team to their first win of the season at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in front of a home crowd on Sunday.
“As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Parag was fined Rs 12 lakhs,” IPL said in a release.
Riyan became the second captain to be fined in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League after Mumbai Indian’s skipper Hardik Pandya. He incurred a similar fine for MI’s slow overrate against the Gujarat Titans.
