In the Qualifier 2 match in Chennai against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Shimron Hetmyer of the Rajasthan Royals violated the IPL Code of Conduct. As a result, he was fined 10% of his match money. On Friday, SRH prevailed by a score of 36 runs. The reason Hetmyer was penalized was not disclosed by the organizers, but it might have had to do with his response to being fired. Hetmyer attempted to bash the stumps in rage after being bowled by Abhishek Sharma in the 14th over of the chase.
“Shimron Hetmyer of the Rajasthan Royals has been fined 10 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the Qualifier 2 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on May 24,” the IPL stated in a statement.
“According to IPL Code of Conduct Article 2.2, Hetmyer committed a Level 1 offense. He took the match referee’s punishment after acknowledging his wrongdoing. The decision made by the Match Referee is definitive and enforceable for Level 1 violations of the Code of Conduct.” Sent in to bat, SRH amassed 175 for nine thanks to contributions from Travis Head (34 balls) and Rahul Tripathi (37), as well as Heinrich Klaasen’s 34-ball fifty.
RR could only muster 139 for 7 in 20 overs before the spinners arrived, with Shahbaz Ahmed (3/23) and Abhishek Sharma (2/24) sharing five wickets between them. T Natarajan (1/13) and Cummins (1/30) each scalped one.
