Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during their IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, marking the team’s first over-rate offense of the season.
The penalty was imposed under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which deals with minimum over-rate offenses. Gill, who was run out for seven runs in the match, joins other captains who have faced similar fines this season.
DC’s Axar Patel, MI’s Hardik Pandya, RR’s Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, and LSG’s Rishabh Pant have all previously been fined for over-rate offenses in IPL 2025.
Despite the penalty, Gujarat Titans emerged victorious in the match, successfully chasing down 204 runs with four balls remaining in challenging Ahmedabad heat conditions.
Jos Buttler played a crucial role in the victory, scoring an unbeaten 97 off 54 balls. He formed significant partnerships of 60 runs with B. Sai Sudharsan and 119 runs with Sherfane Rutherford.
The chase marked a historic moment for GT as it was their first successful pursuit of a 200-plus total in their IPL history. It was also the first time any team had chased such a target against Delhi Capitals.
Who’s that IPL player?
GT’s bowling attack contributed significantly, with Prasidh Krishna taking 4-41. Mohammed Siraj, Arshad Khan, Ishant Sharma, and R. Sai Kishore each claimed one wicket.
The victory has propelled Gujarat Titans, the IPL 2022 champions, to the top of the 2025 season points table with 10 points from seven games. Delhi Capitals currently hold the second position, separated only by net run rate.
GT will next face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Monday evening, which notably is Gill’s former IPL team.
