Delhi: In IPL 2026, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) registered their first win of the season by defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 23 runs in the match held on Saturday. But after the match, BCCI took major action against the CSK captain. Gaikwad was fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during the match. Gaikwad is the third captain who has been fined this year for slow over rate.

If you make a mistake again, you will have to pay double the price.

This was the team’s first mistake, which comes under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which is to not completing the overs in the stipulated time. Because of this, a fine of Rs 12 lakh was imposed on him. If Gaikwad commits this mistake again, he will be fined double. That means next time instead of Rs 12 lakh, they will have to pay Rs 24 lakh.

Before Gaikwad, these two captains have been fined

Before Gaikwad, so far this season two captains have been fined for maintaining slow over rate. Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined twice so far. For the first time he had to pay Rs 12 lakh and for the second time he had to pay Rs 24 lakh. Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill has also been fined Rs 12 lakh once.
