The IPL released a statement saying that it was Mumbai Indians first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, skipper Rohit Sharma was fined Rs 12 lakh.
As per the rules of IPL, the captain of side which fail to maintain the over-rate is fined Rs 12 lakh on the first instance of slow over-rate. On the second instance during the season, the fine is doubled (Rs 24 lakh) for the captain while every other member of playing XI is fined 25 per cent of match fee or Rs 6 lakh – whichever is lesser. When the offence is committed for the third time in a season, a fine of Rs 30 lakh is imposed on captain and he also serves a one-match ban, while rest of the members of the playing XI are charged with a fine of Rs 12 lakh or 50 per cent of match fee – whichever is lesser.
The rules related to minimum over-rate in the IPL Code of Conduct are the following:
1, The over-rate will be calculated at the end of the Match by the Umpires. Where the actual over rate is calculated by the Umpires as being equal to or in excess of the Minimum Over Rate, no further action shall be taken. No further action shall be taken in respect of Minimum Over Rates in a Match in the event of the batting Team being bowled out within the time determined for that innings under the Match Playing Conditions.
2. Where the actual over rate is calculated by the Umpires as being less than the Minimum Over Rate required by the Match Playing Conditions the following shall apply:
2.1 only the Umpires that officiated in the Match during which the alleged offence was committed can report such an offence to the Match Referee, and such report, which must be completed on such form as may be made available for such purpose by BCCI from time to time, must be lodged with the Match Referee (or, where, for logistical reasons, it is impractical to lodge with the Match Referee, the BCCI Chief Executive Officer) within 18 hours of the end of the relevant Match;
2.2 thereafter, the Match Referee shall promptly consult with the Umpires and shall be entitled, after such consultation, to make such amendments to the actual over rate calculation as he/she deems appropriate in the circumstances to reflect those circumstances that are beyond the control of the fielding team.
