Lucknow: The 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium. During this match, Lucknow captain KL Rahul made a big mistake, due to which he can be punished by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Let us tell you that CSK did not have a good start in this match, but in the last overs, the brilliant hitting of former captain MS Dhoni took them to a good score.

Actually, Rahul made a big mistake in the first innings, due to which BCCI has imposed a fine of Rs 12 lakh on him. Let us tell you that KL bowlers did not complete the scheduled 20 overs against CSK and that is why this fine has been imposed on the captain.

Rahul is not the first captain in IPL against whom this action has been taken. Before him, action has also been taken against Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill, Kolkata Knight Riders' Shreyas Iyer, Mumbai Indians' Hardik Pandya and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant. Out of these, many captains have been punished twice.

According to IPL rules, if a captain commits this mistake for the first time, a fine of Rs 12 lakh is imposed on him. So for committing this mistake for the second time, a fine of Rs 24 lakh is imposed. Apart from this, if someone commits this mistake for the third time then a ban of one match is imposed. In such a situation, Rahul will have to be careful in the upcoming matches and avoid such mistakes.

If we talk about Chennai's innings, in this match star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was given a chance to play because he lost 2 wickets for 33 runs. Jadeja, playing at number 4, played an unbeaten inning of 57 runs in 40 balls. Apart from him, Dhoni also played an unbeaten inning of 28 runs with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes on 9 balls.
