Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has been fined for slow over-rate after their 35-run win over Chennai Super Kings played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 10th May 2024.
BCCI and IPL stated that Gujarat Titans violated the IPL Code of Conduct for the second time this season for minimum over-rate issues. Per the IPL violations, the rest of the playing XI including the impact player received a fine of Rs 6 Lakhs or 25 percent of their respective match fees depending upon which was less.
“As it was his team’s second offense of the season under the IPL’s code of conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined 24 Lakhs. The rest of the members of the playing XI including the impact player, were fined individually either INR 6 or 25 percent of their matches fees, whichever is lesser,”.
Shubman Gill received his first fine of 12 Lakhs Rs during match number 7 against Chennai Super Kings at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Gujarat Titans Kept Their Hopes Alive
Gujarat Titans kept their slim hopes alive of reaching the playoff stage. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan looked in sublime touch right from the word go putting on an excellent display of batting. GT openers kept the momentum not allowing CSK bowlers to settle. Gill and Sai completed their centuries putting on 210 runs for the opening wicket.
After their wickets, David Miller and Shahrukh Khan could not hit big shots as Gujarat Titans made 231 for 3 in 20 overs. Gujarat Titans had a dream start as David Miller hit a direct hit to dismiss Rachin Ravindra in the first over itself. Sandeep Warrier got rid of Rahane while Umesh Yadav dismissed CSK captain Gaikwad to leave them in big trouble at 10 for 3.
Mohit Sharma changed the momentum in favour of the Gujarat Titans getting wickets of Mitchell, Moeen Ali, and Shivam Dube. Rashid Khan took the wickets of Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santer to help GT register victory. It was a disciplined bowling effort as Mohit Sharma took 3 for 31, Rashid Khan 2 for 38, Sandeep Warrier and Umesh Yadav took 1 wicket each.
