New Delhi: Mumbai Indians have lost to Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets in their very first match of IPL 2022. This match was a double loss for Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma. First the team lost the match, later a fine of Rs 12 lakh was imposed on them separately. Actually, this fine has been imposed on captain Rohit due to slow over rate of Mumbai bowlers in the match against DC.
It has been said by the IPL management that the Mumbai Indians team has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the match played against Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 27. This is the team's first mistake related to over-rate, so Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma has been fined Rs 12 lakh. Explain that over rate is the average of the overs bowled by the bowling side in one hour.
According to ICC rules, 14.1 overs have to be bowled in an hour in ODI and T20 matches, while 14.2 overs have to be bowled in Test matches. In ODI matches, the bowling side is given a total of 3.5 hours to bowl 50 overs. At the same time, in T20 matches, the team has to finish an innings in one hour and 25 minutes, that is, to throw its quota of 20 overs. Delay in this attracts a penalty of slow over rate.
