IPL 2023: After Faf du Plessis, Now Sanju Samson Fined Because Of THIS Reason
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has to pay a fine of Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate against Chennai Super Kings in a IPL 2023 match on Wednesday.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson became the second captain to be fined in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 after Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Faf du Plessis after maintaining a slow over-rate during their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk on Wednesday night. Just like Du Plessis, since this was Samson’s first offence of the season, he will be fined Rs 12 lakh.
“Rajasthan Royals have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match 17 against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai on Wednesday,” a statement by the IPL read.
For the second offence in a season, the captain of the bowling team will be fined 24 lakhs and the other 10 players will either be fined six lakhs or 25 per cent of their match fees, depending on which amount is lesser. For the third and each subsequent offence in a season, the captain of the bowling team will be fined 30 lakhs and will also be banned for one match. The other 10 players in the team will also be fined 12 lakhs or 50 per cent of their match fees, depending on which amount is lesser.
Although his team Royals posted their first win over CSK in Chennai since 2008, it was a night to forget for Samson, who was dismissed for a duck by Ravindra Jadeja. However, Sandeep Sharma proved to be the match-winner with the ball in the end, defending 21 runs to win in the final over against CSK skipper MS Dhoni and Jadeja.
