Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is fined INR 24 lakh for a slow over-rate during IPL 2026. The penalty is described across outlets as the second such offense for Gaikwad and CSK in the season. The fine is linked to CSK’s match against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on May 21. Gujarat Titans record a dominant win, defeating CSK by 89 runs. Reports say Gujarat’s batting sets a large target, with contributions highlighted from Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, and CSK’s chase fails to build a recovery. The loss ends CSK’s slim hopes of reaching the playoffs and they are eliminated from contention for a place in the top four. Alongside the on-field result, the slow over-rate leads to Gaikwad’s disciplinary fine, adding to the consequences for CSK in what outlets describe as a poor overall outing.
