Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally ended their ten-year wait for a win at the Wankhede Stadium by defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash. It was a great night for the team and fans, but captain Rajat Patidar was fined after the match.
Skipper Rajat Patidar was fined INR 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during Match 20. The fine was imposed as it was the team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct. While the result went in RCB’s favour, the captain will need to be more mindful of the clock in upcoming games.
“As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.2 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Patidar was fined INR 12 lakhs,” an official statement read.
