Shubman Gill the latest culprit of IPL 2026; BCCI takes strict action against Gujarat Titans captain after narrow win

Gujarat Titans produced the first last-over thriller of this season, with captain Gill showing tremendous composure during a high-pressure situation. Needing 13 to win off the last over, Gill turned to his Prasidh Krishna, who, just a few days ago, had pulled a rabbit out of the hat, coming on as an Impact Player and getting the job done for his team. However, Prasidh’s nerves were a notch higher, as he ensured that despite the presence of the in-form David Miller, DC fell short of achieving the target.

“Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi,” the IPL said in a statement.

“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, Gill was fined INR 12 lakhs.”

A repeat of this, and Gill’s punishment will be doubled. Just ask Iyer. Furthermore, if he goes against the rules a third, Gill risks facing a one-match ban.
