"Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi," said an IPL media advisory.

"As this was his team's first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL's Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined INR 12 lakh," it added.

Gill became the second captain to be fined this season after Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer, who has already been penalised twice for the same over-rate offence. Gill also led from the front with a 45-ball 70, hitting four fours and five sixes, as the Titans edged the Capitals by one run.

As per the IPL Code of Conduct, teams must complete their bowling innings within 90 minutes. For a first over-rate offence, only the captain is fined Rs 12 lakh. For a second offence, the captain is fined Rs 24 lakh, while the rest of the playing XI are penalised Rs 6 lakh or 25 per cent of their match fee, whichever is lower.

For a third and every subsequent offence in a season, the captain is fined Rs 30 lakh, while the rest of the playing XI are fined the lesser of Rs 12 lakh or 50 per cent of their match fee.

GUJARAT TITANS SURVIVE THRILLER

The Titans beat the Capitals by one run to register their maiden win of the tournament. Gill brought up a 33-ball fifty to lay the platform for the Titans, who went on to set the Capitals a daunting target of 211.

The Titans held their nerve as Prasidh Krishna successfully defended 13 runs in the final over. Kuldeep Yadav was run out at the striker’s end as the Titans had the last laugh. David Miller had a momentary lapse in judgement, turning down a single off the penultimate delivery from Prasidh Krishna before missing the final ball.

GT will look to build on the win when they face Lucknow Super Giants next on Sunday, April 12 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
