Pant’s Rs 12 lakh fine didn’t slow LSG down
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow over-rate during Match No. 59 of IPL 2026 against Chennai Super Kings in Lucknow. It was LSG’s first Code of Conduct offence under Article 2.22. The penalty came despite a convincing seven-wicket win for LSG, who chased 188 quickly in 16.4 overs. Mitchell Marsh powered the chase with a 38-ball 90, while Kartik Sharma’s 71 couldn’t stop CSK’s 187/5. Ruturaj Gaikwad credited LSG’s shot-making.
