Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant has been fined ₹24 lakhs for slow over-rate in his team’s 54-run defeat to Mumbai Indians at Wankhede in IPL 2025. This was LSG’s second over-rate offense of the season. The remaining playing XI, along with the Impact Player, will be penalized either ₹6 lakhs or 25% of their match fee, whichever is less, as per the IPL Code of Conduct.

Pant’s excursion was challenging on several acts, he was sent packing for a mere 4 runs off 2 deliveries, extending his lean run with the bat. Till date in the tournament, Pant has scored a mere 110 runs in nine innings, striking at 98.21.

In this 45th match of IPL 2025 Lucknow Super Giants, who chose to take the field first, gave away 215/7 in 20 overs, and were bowled out for 161 in return. The loss put them on 10 points from 10 games, and MI rose to second spot with 12 points after achieving their fifth consecutive win.

Pant is one of a number of IPL captains fined for slow over-rates this season, along with the likes of Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Sanju Samson, Rajat Patidar, Riyan Parag, and Hardik Pandya. Unlike last year, though, the IPL has abolished captain suspensions for regular over-rate breaches. Fines, demerit points, and in-game penalties are now being used as disincentives.
