GT vs MI IPL 2025 – Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya has been fined ₹12 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during MI’s 36-run loss against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
Interestingly, this isn’t Pandya’s first offense. He had already missed MI’s opening match against Chennai Super Kings due to the same mistake last season. As per IPL rules, if a captain violates the slow over rate rule twice, he faces a one-match suspension.
