ハーディック・パンディアはそうではありませんか？キャプテンはIPL 2025でゆっくりとトップになることを禁止されていません

The BCCI has made a significant change in the IPL 2025 rules, among a slew of others. For the upcoming season, the captains of franchises won’t have to suffer in lieu of over-rate offences. The board has announced that the captains will no longer face match bans, due to slow over-rate, according to a report in Cricbuzz. Instead they will attract demerit points, with a ban under only extreme circumstances.

“The captain will be penalised with demerit points but will not face a match ban for the slow over-rate,” a source told the publication. The level 1 offence will see a match fee penalty of 25 to 75 per cent, along with demerit points, which will be active for three years. A Level 2 offence will lead to serious consequences, and will result in four demerit points.

“For every 4 demerit points accumulated, the match referee can impose a penalty, either in the form of a 100 percent fine or additional demerit points. These demerit points could potentially lead to a match ban in the future,” a source in the know said. “But for slow overrate it won’t be a match ban (immediately).”

The rule comes at a time when MI skipper Hardik Pandya is already facing a one-match ban, and will miss their IPL 2025 opening match against Chennai Super Kings on March 23.
