Narendra Modi Stadium: Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson has been fined Rs 24 lakh after his team recorded their second over-rate offence while suffering a crushing 58-run defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday evening.
A statement from the IPL on Thursday said Samson and the entire RR team have been fined under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. "The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either Rs 6 lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," it added.
RR's previous over-rate offence came under the captaincy of Riyan Parag, when he was fined Rs 12 lakh after winning their match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. In that game, Samson was playing only as an impact player because of his finger injury.
