PTIThe Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant has been fined with a penalty of Rs 30 lakh after his team maintained a slow over-rate against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Tuesday.
Being LSG’s third offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 30 Lakh. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either Rs 12 Lakh or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.
Rishabh Pant's ton against RCB
Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant, who had just 151 runs in 13 matches in the IPL so far, smashed a stunning century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Lucknow Super Giants' final league match at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old, who walked in at number 3 inside the powerplay, reached the milestone of 54 balls. He ended the innings with an unbeaten 118 runs off 61 balls, including 11 fours and 8 sixes.
His knock helped LSG post a massive total of 227/3 runs as he shared a partnership of 151 runs with Mitchell Marsh, who scored 67 runs off 37 balls, including four fours and five sixes.
Pant, who went for Rs 27 crore in the mega auction, had scored just half-century in the season before the ton he scored today. He averaged just 13 and had a strike rate of 107.
While LSG have been knocked out, this is an important match for RCB. A win would get them a top-two finish and an extra chance to play he final.
RCB moves to Qualifier 1
Stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma arguably played the knock of his life and allowed Royal Challengers Bengaluru to enter Qualifier 1 against Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings by beating Lucknow Super Giants with a six-wicket triumph in the final group stage game of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Punjab stayed at the top of the standings, while RCB moved to second spot with two more points. RCB have booked date with Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 on Thursday, while Gujarat Titans, who slipped to third, will face Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator on Friday.
Bengaluru scripted the third-highest successful run chase in tournament history, thanks to an unbeaten 107-run stand between Mayank Agarwal and Jitesh Sharma. This marked only the third instance of RCB chasing down a target in excess of 200, with their six-wicket win also becoming the highest successful chase in Lucknow.
The win helped RCB to enter the playoffs in second place and they will next meet league toppers Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 1 on Thursday, while Gujarat Titans will clash with Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator on Friday.
