Indian Premier League
(IPL) match.
In an official statement, the IPL confirmed that Patidar was fined Rs 24 lakh as it was RCB's second over-rate offence of the season. Under the IPL's Code of Conduct, repeat infractions carry steeper penalties. As part of the punishment, the rest of RCB's playing XI — including the Impact Player — were each fined either Rs 6 lakh or 25% of their match fee, whichever is lesser.

Cummins, on the other hand, was fined Rs 12 lakh since it was SRH's first such offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which deals with minimum over-rate violations.
Who's that IPL player?
The match saw RCB lose to SRH by 42 runs, denting their momentum ahead of the playoffs, although their qualification had already been secured. SRH posted a commanding total of 231/6, before their bowlers restricted RCB to 189 all out.

After losing the IPL 2025 final to RCB, partner of Preity Zinta makes a special request to BCCI for.....
The 18th edition of the IPL concluded recently, in which Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) created history by winning the title for the first time. Viewership records were broken this season and the brand value of the league also reached new heights. The brand value of the IPL is increasing with every season and at present it has become the second most valuable league in the world after America's NFL. However, the gap between NFL and IPL is still quite big. Punjab Kings co-owner Mohit Burman has suggested that the IPL window be extended from 3 to 4 months (12-16 weeks). He said that other big leagues like the NFL (4.5 months), Premier League (9 months) and NBA (7 months) run for a longer period, giving them an advantage in brand building and fan engagement. In a conversation with PTI, Mohit Burman said, 'We are second after NFL in value per match, but we are still behind in total brand value. If we want to get there, we need a window of 12-16 weeks.' Burman further said, 'Longer window will give us a chance to tell better stories, increase competition and create more value for fans, broadcasters and sponsors. Just increasing the time will not do anything, during that time we will also have to focus on content, fan engagement and off-season planning.' At present, 10 teams play 74 matches and the tournament gets a window of 9-10 weeks. But there is news that from 2028, the number of matches in IPL can be increased to 94, although the number of teams will not increase. This proposed plan will allow every team to play an equal number of home and away matches, which will automatically increase the league window. However, it is not possible to implement it before 2028 as the schedule till 2027 is already fixed.

RCB, DNA Entertainment get interim relief from Karnataka High Court in Chinnaswamy stampede case: 'It's too premature'
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and DNA Entertainment had moved Karnataka High Court on Monday, four days after Bengaluru Police filed an FIR against them in connection with the stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium last week that had left 11 dead. read more Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title celebration at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday had to be cut short due to a stampede that had broken out outside the venue. AP The Karnataka High Court on Monday provided interim relief to Royal Challengers Bengaluru as well as DNA Entertainment while hearing their petitions against a criminal case filed in connection with the recent stampede at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium . RCB and DNA Entertainment had moved High Court on Monday seeking to quash a First Information Report that was filed by Bengaluru Police on Thursday, in which the Royal Challengers had been named as the first accused. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), which is headquartered at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and is in charge of the venue, was also named as an accused in the case. And on Monday, both parties filed separate petitions before the Karnataka High Court ; while RCB claimed that they have been falsely implicated in the case, DNA Entertainment blamed the lack of police cover at the iconic venue as the primary factor that led to the stampede and the eventual loss of lives. Later on the same day, the High Court adjourned the ongoing hearings concerning the two parties to Thursday, 12 June with Justice SR Krishna Kumar ordering police officials to not take any coercive action against anyone from either RCB or DNA until then. 'There is a gentleman's understanding – don't do anything till we take up the matter,' Justice Krishna Kumar told the Karnataka government, warning against unnecessary action. 'There's no independent case made out against RCB or DNA' Monday's hearing also witnessed a sharp exchange between CV Nagesh and Advocate General (AG) Shashikiran Shetty. While Nagesh was representing RCB and DNA, Shetty was representing the State of Karnataka. The former alleged that there was no prima facie case against his clients, and that the allegations were largely composite involving all three parties. 'Except for one sentence, the entire FIR makes composite allegations against all three. There's no independent case made out against RCB or DNA,' Nagesh said, while added that it was actually the Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah who had invited everyone to RCB's felicitation event. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD AG Shetty, however, contended that it was RCB and DNA's social media posts that actually drew fans in large numbers at the Chinnaswamy, as well as the fact that they had done so without seeking prior permissions that led to the chaos. 'Thirteen crore people saw it,' the AG said, pointing the finger at Nagesh's clients on the parties responsible for spreading the word about the team's title celebrations. 'At 10.30 am, without informing the government, they tweeted that there would be a rally. Five lakh people came, and only 21 gates were there. If they had simply opened the gates, lives could have been saved,' he added. 'It's too premature': Karnataka HC Judge Justice Krishna Kumar, however, said it was 'too premature' for the High Court to be arriving at a conclusion this early. 'Today, we are not in a position to say whether it was the tweet or the CM's invitation or something else that caused the incident. It's too premature. We're only dealing with a plea for protection from arrest. 'Except for that one sentence about free passes, everything else seems to be composite. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'At one point, the AG expressed concern that the petitioners could destroy evidence if granted protection. 'The investigation will reveal who among the three – RCB, DNA, KSCA – is responsible. If it turns out the tweet had no impact, what then?' Justice Krishna Kumar added. The tragic incident at RCB's home ground had taken place on 4 June while Virat Kohli, captain Rajat Patidar and the rest of the squad was celebrating its historic victory over Punjab Kings in the IPL final in Ahmedabad on the previous night. The six-run victory over the Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS gave RCB their maiden IPL title after years of heart-breaks. Besides the FIR against RCB, DNA and KSCA, Bengaluru Police had arrested Royal Challengers marketing and revenue head Nikhil Sosale at the Kempegowda International Airport. Cops had also detained three executives belonging to DNA Entertainment, the organisation that had successfully conducted an open-top bus parade for the Indian cricket team at Mumbai's Marine Drive following their victory in the T20 World Cup last year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sosale has since approached the Karnataka High Court following his arrest, terming it illegal and arbitrary.
