PBKS vs MI: Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer penalised for IPL Code of Conduct breach; check details
Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, captains of Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) were slammed with penalties for breaching the IPL's Code of Conduct during Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on June 1, Sunday. The penalty was imposed for violating the league's over-rate rules.
Shreyas Iyer has been fined ₹ 24 lakhs for maintaining a slow-over rate. Notably, it is team's second breach of the ongoing season, the first was during a match against Chennai Super Kings on April 30.
"Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined after his team maintained a slow over rate during Qualifier 2 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad," IPL stated in a release.
"As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Iyer was fined INR 24 lakhs," it further added.
Moreover, each member of the Punjab Kings Playing XI squad, including the Impact Player, was fined either ₹ 6 lakhs or 25% of their match fees, whichever amount was lower.
Hardik Pandya has been penalised for the same offence. It was MI's third breach this season after they were fined for a slow over-rate in both games against Gujarat Titans.
"Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has also been fined after his team maintained a slow over rate. As it was his team's third offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Pandya was fined INR 30 Lakh," IPL stated.
While Pandya was fined ₹ 30 lakhs, the other members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each fined either ₹ 12 lakhs or 50% of their match fees, whichever was less.
In the IPL 2025, the regulations governing slow over-rates have been revised from the 2024 season.
'Effective this season, a new Code of Conduct will be implemented from the TATA IPL 2025 season, introducing a demerit points system and suspension points that will remain valid for 36 months,' the BCCI said in an official release.
In the 2024 IPL season, a captain whose team violated slow over-rate rules for three consecutive matches faced a compulsory one-match suspension.
However, under the revised regulations, captains now incur monetary penalties and get demerit points for slow over-rates, with a fine equivalent to 25% of their match fee. These demerit points remain active for 36 months, and repeated violations may lead to harsher consequences.

Virat Kohli Creates History, Becomes Only Player In 18 Years To...
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Virat Kohli became the first player to win an IPL title by staying loyal to the same team for the entirety of the competition. Almost as if it was written in the stars, Kohli ended the wait in the IPL's 18th year — the number behind his jersey and the date of his international debut. Although several one-team players have won titles in the IPL, like Sachin Tendulkar, Jasprit Bumrah and Shane Warne, among others, no one has done it by staying it by being with one team for this long. RCB beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in the last over, defending the target of 191.

After IPL 2025 win, Krunal Pandya reveals telephone chat with brother Hardik Pandya
Krunal Pandya (BCCI/IPL Photo) NEW DELHI: Krunal Pandya delivered a Player of the Match performance to guide Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Picked up by RCB for Rs 5.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, Krunal brought out his full arsenal, refusing to let Punjab Kings gain control during their chase. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! His spell of 2 for 17, which included the crucial wickets of Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis, proved to be a game-changer and played a key role in RCB's six-run victory. Krunal later revealed that he had set his intentions clearly with the franchise during his very first conversation — he was there to win trophies — and he made good on that promise with a match-defining performance. — IPL (@IPL) 'When we batted, we realised the slower you bowl, the better it is. In this format, you need guts to do it. I just backed myself and thought I'd vary my pace and keep it on the slower side more often. My biggest strength has been to learn what the situation requires. I knew I had to be brave to get wickets tonight. Thought I'd do that by bowling slow. If you'd have bowled quick, it'd have been a good wicket. But if you mixed it up, it was tougher. Pitch actually got easier in the second innings,' said Krunal while collecting the POTM trophy. 'Have enjoyed my time with RCB so far. I told them on day one that I like to win trophies. I told Hardik too that the Pandya household will have nine trophies in 11 years,' he added. Krunal now has four IPL titles to his name — three with Mumbai Indians — and Tuesday's performance marked the second time he has won the Player of the Match award in an IPL final. The first came in 2017, when he scored 47 off 38 balls to help Mumbai Indians defeat the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant.
