Rishabh Pant, captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, faced a substantial financial setback after being fined Rs 24 lakh for his team's slow over-rate during their match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.

The incident marked the second time this season that the team breached Article 2.22 of the IPL's Code of Conduct, which mandates penalties for not maintaining the required over-rate standards.
