SRH’s Cummins fined for slow-over rate in GT match
As per a press release, Cummins has been handed a fine of Rs 12 lakhs for maintaining a slow-over rate in the game against Gujarat Titans. This is the first instance in IPL 2026 where SRH have been found maintaining a slow-over rate in a game. Cummins returned to IPL on April 25 after missing the first few games as he was yet to be cleared by Cricket Australia.

“Pat Cummins, Captain, Sunrisers Hyderabad, has been fined after his team maintained a slow over rate during Match No. 56 of TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
