Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2025: Rishabh Pant, the Lucknow Super Giants captain ,was penalised by the BCCI for maintaining a slow over-rate during their match against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 match 45 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Pant was fined INR 24 lakhs because it was DC's second over-rate offence in IPL 2025, while the rest of the playing XI including the Impact Player will be fined "either INR 6 lakhs or 25 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," according to the tournament's code of conduct.

"As this was his team's second offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL's Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Pant was fined INR 24 lakhs," the IPL said in a release.

"The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser."

Things didn't go as planned for LSG as they also ended up losing the match by 54 runs. This was their fifth defeat of the season as they failed to chase down the 216-run target in their 10th match and were bowled out for just 161 in their 20 overs. They are currently placed sixth in the standings with five wins and 10 points under their belt.

It was a tough game for Pant as he had yet another disappointing outing with the bat, getting dismissed for 4 of 2 balls, extending his poor run this season: he's scored only 110 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 98.21. Notably, Rishabh is the most expensive buy in IPL history as LSG bought him for INR 27 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Along with Pant, Shubman Gill (GT), Axar Patel (DC), Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals - RR), Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru - RCB), Riyan Parag (RR), and Hardik Pandya (MI) have also been penalised for slow over-rate offences so far this season.

Unlike last season, there won't be any match suspensions on captains for repeat over-rate offences and will only levy demerit points and fines, in addition to in-game penalties.
