Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill has been fined Rs 24 lakh for maintaining slow over rate during the IPL 2024 match 59 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 10).

Gill has been fined Rs 24 lakh for a second time offence, which subsequently meant the rest of the playing 11 members, including the Impact Player, were individually fined either Rs 6 lakh or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.

"As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Gill was fined INR 24 lakh," the IPL statement read.

"The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 6 lakh or 25 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser."

As mentioned earlier, this was GT's second such offence with the previous one also coming against the same opponents in CSK during the reverse fixture on March 26, which ultimately saw Gill being fined Rs 12 lakh. The GT skipper will need to be careful of a third such offence.

According to the regulations set by both BCCI and IPL, a franchise captain will have to face a one-match ban if his side is found guilty of maintaining a slow over-rate in three matches in a season.

Coming back to the match on Friday (May 10), GT defeated defending champions CSK by 35 runs to stay alive in the IPL. Gill and B Sai Sudharsan made hundreds in GT's total of 231 for three before restricting CSK to 196 for eight.

With the latest result, Gujarat Titans moved to eighth on the IPL 2024 points table with 10 points from 12 matches, while CSK held on to their fourth place despite the defeat with 12 points from as many games due to a better Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to the rest.
