Offence Count: Second over-rate offence for Rajasthan Royals this season. Applicable Rule: Article 2.22 of IPL Code of Conduct. 🚨 Fine Breakdown: Captain (Samson): ₹24 lakh. Other players (including Impact Player): ₹6 lakh or 25% of match fee (whichever is lower). 🤕 First Offence Not Under Samson: Against: Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Captain at the time: Riyan Parag (Samson was Impact Player due to finger injury). Fine then: ₹24 lakh for Parag under first-offence rules. 📉 RR’s Situation: Record: 2 wins, 3 losses.
