In a recent IPL 2026 match, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins has been fined ₹12 lakh (approximately $14,500 USD) due to his team's slow over-rate during their game against Gujarat Titans. The match, held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, saw the Gujarat Titans score 168 runs for 5 wickets. This fine marks the first over-rate violation for SRH this season. Earlier, another SRH player, opener Abhishek Sharma, faced disciplinary action for showing dissent during a match against Kolkata Knight Riders in April, resulting in a 25% deduction of his match fee and a demerit point on his record. The penalties reflect the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) strict enforcement of over-rate regulations in the league.
