IPL 2026: Pat Cummins fined after GT loss, joins unwanted list alongside Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins faces a Rs 12 lakh fine. This penalty is for a slow over rate during their IPL 2026 match against Gujarat Titans. The team suffered a significant defeat.
This marks the team's first such offense this season. Several other captains have also been fined for similar violations.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during SRH’s IPL 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The IPL confirmed the penalty in an official statement after SRH’s crushing 82-run defeat on Tuesday night. “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 INR 12 lakhs,” the statement read. The fine came on a disappointing evening for Hyderabad, who were completely outplayed by Gujarat Titans in a one-sided contest. GT produced a clinical all-round performance to move to the top of the IPL 2026 points table.
After being put in to bat, Gujarat posted a competitive total of 168/5, powered by a composed 61 from Sai Sudharsan and a crucial half-century from Washington Sundar. In reply, SRH’s explosive batting lineup collapsed under pressure and were bowled out for just 86 in 14. 5 overs.
