Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant slapped with INR 30 Lakh fine for team's third slow over-rate breach in TATA IPL 2025 Match 70 vs RCB at Ekana Stadium. Playing XI and Impact Player fined up to 50% match fees or INR 12 Lakh each, spotlighting discipline cracks in playoff push.

This violation during LSG's loss—where RCB chased triumphantly—marks Pant's third offence, escalating penalties under IPL Code of Conduct. LSG's season unravels post elimination, with over-rate issues compounding batting woes against RCB's attack.

Repeat Infractions Expose Tactical Flaws

Third breach this season incurs maximum captaincy fine (INR 30L), with squad deductions totaling lakhs—LSG's cumulative fines exceed INR 50L. Historically, similar lapses cost CSK 2023 points; Pant's 12L/player hits echo KKR 2024 woes, where slow rates lost momentum in 15% of games.

Ripple Effects on LSG Rebuild and IPL Discipline

Fine drains LSG resources amid rebuild, pressuring Pant's leadership post Aiden Markram's absence. IPL's zero-tolerance stance deters future delays, impacting standings—slow overs correlated to 20% loss rate in tight chases. Signals broader push for pace in T20 evolution.
