Sanju Samson was fined with 24 Lakh after Rajasthan Royals (RR) was convicted of a slow excessive rate for the second time in India Premier League (IPL) 2025. This happened during his match against the Gujarat Titans (GT).

Sanju Samson fined by the second offensive of overvalued slow

According to the IPL Code of Conduct (Article 2.22), the captain is fined with 24 Lakh for a second slow offensive in excess rate in a season. Other players in game XII, including the impact player, are fined with INR 6 Lakh or 25% of their match rate, which is lower. The IPL has also eliminated the rule that suspended the captains after three crimes.

The first RR offensive this season arrived in a match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In that game, Riyan Parag was leading the team because Sanju Samson had a finger injury and played only as an impact player. Plag was fined 12 Lakh for that game. The last offensive occurred during the defeat of 58 RR races against Gujarat Titans, which was his third defeat in five games.
