KKR Lost and Shreyas Iyer Penalized for Slow Over-Rate
Views:
It was a bad day for Kolkata Knight Riders. They lost the match & Captain Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs. 12 Lakh for maintaining a slower over-rate against RR.
Being fined a significant sum, charged with a violation, and losing the match - what could possibly be worse? Almost similar happened with Shreyas Iyer in the recent match against Rajasthan Royals.
Due to his team's slow over-rate in the match, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 12 lakh. The Royals emerged victorious over KKR at Eden Gardens. After this match, Rajasthan Royals became the expert chasers. Butler was the star of the match.
About the Rule
One might think or believe that the slower over-rate only impacts the players, playing the match. But it also affects the people watching the match live or on their screens.
Everyone in the stadium, from players to fans, feels the effects of the slow over-rate, which is not good for the team's discipline and the game's tempo. Following over-rate limits is essential for keeping fans
engaged as the game evolves and becomes more exciting and fast-paced.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to impose the fee to drive home the point that the game must stay on track. The rules also focus on maintaining the integrity of the game.
KKR’s Fairplay Rankings
KKR's dismal Fairplay ranking makes one wonder how seriously the team takes preserving the game's integrity. How KKR and Shreyas Iyer handle this setback and their ability to improve their place in the over-rate and Fairplay standings will be determined as the 2024 IPL season continues.
