“Shubman Gill, the Gujarat Titans captain, has been fined for his team’s slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 26.
Gill was fined ₹12 lakh by the IPL for his team’s first violation of the Code of Conduct for minimum overrate offenses this season, according to an official statement.
Gill took command of the team and won his first match on Sunday after Hardik Pandya moved to the Mumbai Indians for another captaincy opportunity.
The young opening batter got off to a good start when GT defeated MI in their tournament opener a few nights ago, but on Tuesday, Gill’s GT finished second best.
Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand hit an explosive 46 and took three catches to help the Chennai Super Kings win their second IPL title in a row, defeating Gujarat Titans by 63 runs.
Ravindra, in his IPL debut, scored his runs off 20 balls, while captain Ruturaj Gaikwad hit 46 as Chennai posted 206-6 at home.
M.S. Dhoni, an old warhorse, shocked his fans ahead of the T20 tournament by handing over the Chennai captaincy to Gaikwad after leading the team to their fifth IPL title last year.
Gaikwad, who led the team to victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL opener last week, got an early reprieve on one and took advantage of the spill.
Ravindra, who bats left-handed, remained defiant, hitting three sixes and six fours.
Rashid Khan, Gujarat’s Afghanistan spin wizard, denied Ravindra his fifty by stumping him, while Gaikwad was caught behind by Spencer Johnson of Australia.
Dube reached fifty in 22 balls before falling in the 19th over to Rashid, who took two wickets but conceded 49 runs.
