Hardik Pandya Banned For One Match; Will Miss First Match Of IPL 2025

Pandya is the second player this season to be suspended for an over-rate offense, following Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya’s IPL 2024 season concluded on a disappointing note, as his team faced their 10th defeat on Friday night. Moreover, Pandya has been suspended from participating in the next match after MI were penalized for a slow over-rate during their 14th and final match of the season against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium.

Pandya has also been fined Rs 30 lakh for MI’s slow over-rate against LSG. “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 and banned from playing the team’s next match,” the IPL said in a statement after LSG beat MI by 18 runs.

The rest of the members of MI’s playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each fined either Rs 12 lakh or 50 percent of their respective match fees, whichever was lesser.

Hardik Pandya is the second player to receive a one-match suspension in IPL 2024 for an over-rate offense. Earlier this week, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant had to miss his team’s crucial match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru due to a suspension for his team’s third over-rate offense.

DC had lodged an appeal against the ruling, citing various reasons for the delay, but it was upheld. Later, Axar Patel, who led the team against RCB, revealed that Pant was not happy with the verdict.

Since the match against LSG was MI’s last of IPL 2024, Pandya will likely miss the team’s opening match of the next season as part of the punishment. It was a dismal season for the five-time champions, who could only secure victory in four out of their 14 league matches, ultimately finishing at the bottom of the table.
