However, Rajasthan Royals (RR) could not. Lucknow Super Veteran (LSG) registered a one-to-one victory to surprise the hosts. But as far as Abhishek Nair was concerned, there was a big news. Apart from this, why Shubman Gill got a fine and why will Pakistan not come to India for the World Cup this year?

Shubman Gill pays fine

Gujarat’s Titans captain Shubman Gill was fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow rate of his team in his match against Delhi Capital. Gill joined six other captains in IPL 2025 to face similar punishment.

According to the Code of Conduct of the IPL, there will be heavy fines and demeriting points from repeated crimes, but the captains will not be suspended.
