IPL 2019: KXIP captain Ravichandran Ashwin fined for slow over-rate against Delhi Capitals

Kings XI Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow-over rate during the match against Delhi Capitals

After Mumbai Indian's Rohit Sharma, RCB's Virat Kohli and RR' recently-sacked skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin has become the fourth captain to be fined for slow over-rate in IPL 2019. Ashwin has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow-over rate during the match against Delhi Capitals. "As it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Ashwin was fined Rs 12 lakh," read an IPL statement. Young leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane returned figures of 3/40, playing an influential role in helping DC rally after Gayle's blitzkrieg as Kings XI Punjab lost to Delhi Capitals by five wickets on Saturday night at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground. Chris Gayle smashed five gargantuan sixes before Delhi Capitals put the brakes to restrict Kings XI Punjab to 163 for seven.
