Sourav Ganguly has been fined US $40,000 and the rest members of Kolkata Knight Riders US $10,000 each, due to slow over rate in the match against the Delhi Daredevils in Kolkata on Wednesday. They were two overs behind the required over rate.

“The Indian Premier League today advised that Kolkata Knight Riders have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during last night’s DLF IPL match against Delhi Daredevils in Kolkata,” read a statement from the IPL.

“Since it was Kolkata’s second offense of the season, under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offenses, captain Sourav Ganguly was fined USD 40,000 and each player in the team USD 10,000,” the statement added.

Now if this offense is repeated the third time, Ganguly can face a ban for 1 match.
