From young Digvesh Rathi to veteran Ishant Sharma, l of players to be fined this season

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is off to a fiery start already with the passion spilling over on the field. While players and teams are off chasing records in IPL 2025, there have been some notable infringements as well in IPL 2025: this includes players getting fined because of their behaviour and captains getting hit with penalties because of the team’s slow-over rates.
Here’s a l of the penalties imposed in IPL 2025 so far:
For slow over rates:
According to clause 12.6, a team must complete 14.11 overs an hour. In uninterrupted matches, “the 20th over should finish within 90 minutes (being 85 minutes of playing time plus 5 minutes of time-out) of the start of the innings.” A failure to ensure this leads to fines on IPL skippers.

Fines for inappropriate behavior:
Digvesh Rathi (Match No 13,16 & 19)
The 25-year-old debutant for Lucknow Super Giants has become something of an enfant terrible with his ‘notebook celebration’ after dismissing a batsman. Rathi has now been found guilty for his behaviour thrice. On his first offence on April 1, he was fined 25 per cent of his match fees after dismissing Priyansh Arya. Despite accumulating one demerit point, repetitive offenses led to a fine of 50 per cent for his conduct against Mumbai Indians’ Naman Dhir. Rathi accumulated 3 more demerit points after taking the wicket of his idol Sunil Narine. He is now faced with the prospect of a one-match suspension.
Ishant Sharma: (Match No 20)
The veteran, playing for Gujarat Titans in 18th edition of the IPL, was fined 25 per cent of his match fees and accumulated one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct under article 2.2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 20.
