CSK vs KKR: Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Chennai Super Kings at their home on Sunday. With this win, KKR still remains in the playoff race. The team saved itself from being eliminated from the race but the delay of about 8 minutes in this match caused them a loss of 88 lakhs. Everyone was punished for the mistake made by the team.

KKR fined

Actually KKR did not complete 20 overs on time while bowling in this match. Even before the 19th over, he was running behind the stipulated time, due to which he was fined due to slower over rate. Team captain Nitish Rana was fined Rs 24 lakh. On the other hand, the remaining players of the team will have to pay a fine of Rs 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is less.

KKR made a mistake for the second time

IPL said in its statement, ‘Nitish Rana is being fined for not completing the over on time in the Tata Indian Premier League match played against Chennai Super Kings on May 14 at MA Chidambaram Stadium. This was the second mistake of the team in this season, due to which all the players included in the playing XI and the impact player will be fined Rs 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is less.

88 lakh loss

There are only two players in the team whose 25 percent match fee is less than six lakhs. In such a situation, the team will have to pay Rs 88 lakh for a total delay of 8 minutes. The difficulty is not only in fines. The problem is also that if now the team does not complete the overs on time in any match, then its captain Nitish Rana will be banned for one match. In the last phase of the league round, the team would not like to land without their captain. For this reason now they have to take more care.
