MI players who crossed the line..!? bcci punished all of them.!?
The mumbai Indians team in the 2024 IPL series is already losing the chance to go to the playoffs. In another blow, the bcci has punished the mumbai Indians players and captain hardik Pandya. In yesterday's match against lucknow Supergiants, mumbai Indians did not complete their overs within the allotted time while bowling. This is the second time this mistake has happened in the IPL this year. Captain hardik pandya was fined Rs 12 lakh on his match salary as per the rules for the first offense. As this mistake is happening for the second time now, as per IPL rules, the captain has been fined 24 lakhs and each player who has been included in the team has been fined 25 percent of the match salary or 6 lakhs, whichever is less.
It is the captain's responsibility to bowl the overs within the specified time. This rule is implemented to prevent a team from wasting time by stopping fielding, seeking clarification from the umpire, and consulting with the bowler. Only a team captain can avoid such a waste of time. But, hardik pandya didn't handle it well. 
Especially in this match against the lucknow team, the mumbai team scored only 144 runs. The lucknow team played calmly while batting. mumbai Indians took wickets in the last few overs and had little chance of winning. hardik pandya took a lot of time to use it. Because of that overs could not be bowled within the stipulated time. With only 3 wins in 10 matches, mumbai Indians are unlikely to make the playoffs even if they win the remaining four matches.
