Ahmedabad, May 13

Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins has been fined Rs 12 lakhs after his team maintained a slow over rate during match 56 of the Indian Premier League 2026 against the Gujarat Titans here at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

IPL issued a statement on Wednesday and wrote, "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, Cummins was fined Rs 12 lakhs."

SRH suffered a big 82-run defeat in the match against GT, where they got bundled out for 86 runs while chasing a challenging target of 169.

Cummins was the highest scorer for his side with 19 runs coming in just nine deliveries with the help of two sixes and a four.

Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder picked three wickets each for GT, and Prasidh Krishna took a couple of wickets, whereas Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj grabbed one wicket each.

Earlier, GT made 168/5 after being asked to bat first, thanks to the half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (61 off 44 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes) and Washington Sundar (50 off 33 balls with the help of seven fours and a six).

Uncapped Indian seamers, Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain shared two wickets each among them, whereas Pat Cummins picked the crucial wicket of Nishant Sindhu. He finished his bowling spell with the figures of 4-0-20-1. Rabada (4-0-28-3) was named Player of the Match for his incredible bowling performance.

With eight wins and four losses, GT stays at the top of the table with 16 points, and SRH has slid down to third with seven wins and five losses, with 14 points.

Gujarat Titans will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday, whereas SRH will take on CSK at Chepauk on Monday.

As an SRH fan, this has been a disappointing season. Cummins is a world-class captain but the team's over-rate issues reflect poor planning. And that batting collapse? 86 all out chasing 169 is embarrassing for any professional side. GT are looking unstoppable though - Rabada was brilliant.

Honestly, these fines are just a slap on the wrist. ₹12 lakhs means nothing to international players earning crores. The BCCI should consider point deductions for serious over-rate offences - that would actually hurt teams. GT completely outclassed SRH in every department though.

That 86 all out scoreline is brutal! Cummins top-scored with 19 batting at No.7 - what does that say about the top order? SRH need to seriously review their batting strategy. GT looking dangerous at top of the table, and having Washington Sundar score 50 is a huge plus for Indian cricket.

Unbelievable collapse from SRH! From playoff contenders to getting bundled out for 86. This is why consistency matters in IPL - one bad game can ruin your NRR. GT's bowling attack looks complete - Rabada, Holder, Rashid, Siraj all contributing. Hardik must be happy with this performance.

The fine is fair but the real issue is SRH's over-rate. In T20 cricket, slow over-rates can cost you momentum and matches. Cummins should take responsibility and ensure his team speeds up. Still, credit to GT for their clinical performance - they've earned that top spot!
