Kieron Pollard, the batting coach of the Mumbai Indians, faced disciplinary action from the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council for a Level 1 breach of the tournament's Code of Conduct. During a tense match against the Punjab Kings, Pollard was fined 15% of his match fee and received one demerit point for using audible obscenities directed at the fourth umpire during the 19th over. The IPL stated that Pollard admitted to the offense and accepted the sanction imposed by Match Referee Pankaj Dharmani. Despite Pollard's outburst, the Mumbai Indians triumphed, marking their fourth victory of the campaign. Tilak Varma played a crucial role in the win, scoring 75 runs off just 33 balls, including six fours and six sixes. His performance, alongside Sherfane Rutherford, helped the team chase down a challenging target of 201 runs.
