Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during his team’s 12-run defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians (MI) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game. MI scored 205 for 5 in 20 overs, while DC were all out for 193 in 19 overs.

“Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 29 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. 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, Patel was fined INR 12 lakh,” the BCCI said in a release.

This was DC’s first defeat in the tournament. However, Axar continued to struggle, having gone wicketless in five matches and scoring only 67 runs with the bat.
