New Delhi: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 29 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Sunday night.
As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Patel was fined INR 12 lakhs, an IPL statement said.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians (MI) held their nerves to script a dramatic 12-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) here. Despite Karun Nair’s sensational 89 off 40 balls, the hosts fell short in a high-scoring thriller, undone by Karn Sharma’s timely 3-fer and a bizarre hat-trick of run-outs in the penultimate over.
