Punjab Kings Captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined for a slow over-rate during the IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings. This was the team’s second offense of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct, resulting in a fine of INR 24 lakhs for Iyer. The rest of the Playing XI members, along with the Impact Player, will also face fines.
PBKS showcased their prowess in 200-plus chases by defeating Chennai Super Kings for the ninth time. Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer led the charge, with Arya making a quick start and Iyer guiding the team to victory. Despite CSK’s strong batting performance, their bowling struggled, leading to their second consecutive loss in the season.
Priyansh Arya played a crucial role in Punjab Kings’ pursuit of 210 runs against Chennai Super Kings. With an aggressive approach, Arya swiftly accumulated runs, setting the pace for the team’s chase. His explosive innings, although not match-winning on its own, exemplified the importance of a strong start in T20 cricket.
