Shubman Gill, GT Fined For Slow-Over Rate

Chennai: In what would rub salt to the wound of Gujarat Titans after losing by 63 runs to Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday is that their captain has been fined by the IPL Governing Council for slow-over rate. Gill, who has been fined Rs 12 lakhs, becomes the first captain to be fined for slow over-rate in IPL 2024.

On being invited to bat first, CSK made their attacking intentions clear from the outset, courtesy of Rachin Ravindra. The left-hander started his IPL career with an aggressive knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and carried that into this match with an explosive 46 off 20 to set the tone for CSK.

Ruturaj Gaikwad had some fortune early on when he was dropped at first slip in the first over. With Gaikwad then holding one end, Ravindra unleashed an array of great shots to entertain the Chennai crowd. By the time Ravindra was dismissed, CSK had sped to 62 within six overs.

Gaikwad maintained the tempo after Ravindra’s dismissal – keeping the scoring rate over 10 an over. R Sai Kishore had a decent start to his spell, and the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane in the 11th over was a big reward. A couple of overs later, Spencer Johnson induced an edge off Gaikwad’s bat. Shivam Dube walked in at 127 for three in the 12th over.

GT may have felt they could put pressure on CSK with the set batters back in the hut. Dube smashed the first two balls he faced off R Sai Kishore for sixes and never looked back thereafter.

Daryl Mitchell had the best seat in the house as Dube attacked the GT bowlers, racing his way to a fifty in only 20 balls with five sixes and two fours. The left-hander has had a great run of form over the last year and lived up to it in this game. Rashid Khan ended the Dube onslaught in the 19th over when he holed out in the covers.

Inspired by the Dube blitz, Sameer Rizvi walked out for his maiden innings of the Tata IPL. The youngster wrote his name in the record books by smashing his first ball for six. Showing no signs of nerves, he swept Rashid over square-leg for six and followed it up with another maximum by lofting one over log-off. This personified CSK’s approach through the day as a youngster, effectively making his debut, showed no nerves and walked onto the big stage with panache.
