IPL 2023: Nitish Rana fined Rs 24 lakh for slow over-rate against CSK
Kolkata Knight Riders' slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday has cost the visiting team's skipper, Nitish Rana, Rs 24 lakh as fine.
"As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Rana has been fined 24 lakh and each member of the Playing XI, including the impact substitute, is fined 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is lesser," the statement from IPL read.
Kolkata managed to stun CSK, who are usually unbeatable in home conditions at Chepauk. The six-wicket win has kept KKR's playoff hopes alive, while CSK currently sits second in the table despite the defeat and is anticipated to finish in the top four. Rana and Rinku Singh slammed fifties apiece en route to a 99-run match-winning stand to guide KKR to a comfortable six-wicket win over CSK. Rana remained unbeaten on 57 off 44 balls while Rinku made 54 off 43 deliveries to set up KKR’s chase of 145 runs after they lost their first three wickets for 33 runs inside the fifth over.
The defeat also puts on hold CSK’s chances of sealing a play-off berth as the home side is in second spot with 15 points. KKR, on the other hand, moved to 12 points with a match to play but their hopes rest on other results.
