IPL fined DC for 2nd time

According to the IPL's code of conduct, it was stated that Pant was fined Rs 24 lakhs because it was his team's second offense of the season.

In addition to the captain, the announcement stated that other members of the Delhi-based team, including as the impact player, had also been fined Rs 6 lakhs, or 25% of their match fees.

As it was his team's second offense of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses, Pant was fined INR 24 lakhs. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 6 lakhs or 25 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.

A monumental score to chase

In summary of the game, DC was under pressure and lost by 106 runs as KKR's total of 273 proved to be too much for them.

In the powerplay, DC was reduced to 33/4 by the iconic pacer- Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora, who each claimed two wickets.

These early smashes ruined DC's strategy for pursuing the enormous total, which became increasingly difficult with each ball. They ultimately lost by 106 runs as the necessary rate proved to be too much.
