Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer was fined ₹12 lakh after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their IPL match against Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur.
Punjab Kings defeated GT by three wickets to start their IPL 2026 campaign on a winning note.
“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, Iyer was fined ₹12 lakhs,” stated a media release.
Pacer Vyshak Vijayakumar and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal shared five wickets among them as PBKS limited GT to 162 for six.
Despite a stuttering batting effort, Punjab went past the line in 19.1 overs. Young Australian batter Cooper Connolly led them home with an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls.
