Indian Premier League (IPL) side Sunrisers Hyderabad have been fined Rs 12 lakh after they maintained a slow over-rate during their match against Rajasthan Royals at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Tuesday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As it was the team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, SRH skipper Kane Williamson was docked Rs 12 lakhs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, dominating knocks by Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, and Shimron Hetmyer, followed by clinical bowling by Yuzvendra Chahal (3\/22) and Prasidh Krishna (2\/16) led Rajasthan Royals to a thumping 61-run victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Riding on brilliant attacking knocks by skipper Sanju Samson (55 off 27), Devdutt Padikkal (41 off 29), and a late cameo by Shimron Hetmyer (32 off 13), Rajasthan Royals posted 210\/6 in 20 overs. Apart from the trio of Samson, Padikkal, and Hetmyer, Jos Buttler (35 off 28) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (20 off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chasing a huge total, SRH got off to the worst possible start as Prasidh Krishna rattled the top-order. In his very first over, the pacer dismissed Kane Williamson for two as Devdutt Padikkal at first slip took a great catch. Prasidh continued to bowl back-of-a-length deliveries and in the corridor of uncertainty and was soon rewarded with the wicket of Rahul Tripathi as he edged it to Samson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
