Overview
- Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Nandre Burger was fined 10% of his match fee and received one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
- Officials said the sanction followed a send-off gesture after he dismissed Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant during Wednesday’s match in Lucknow.
- Match referees cited Article 2.5, which bars language or gestures that disparage a player or could provoke an aggressive reaction.
- Burger admitted a Level 1 offence and accepted the match referee’s penalty, which under IPL rules is final with no right of appeal.
- The incident occurred in Rajasthan Royals’ 40-run win over LSG, and the demerit point will be recorded toward any future disciplinary thresholds.
