That really sums it up — a textbook case of success coming with a fine print, quite literally! Gill probably won't mind paying the ₹12 lakh too much after such a crucial win, especially one that pushed GT to the top of the table at the halfway stage. But it’s interesting how many captains have already fallen foul of the over-rate rule this season — Axar, Sanju, Pant, Riyan, Patidar, Hardik, and now Gill — clearly shows how the game's strategic depth (and sometimes brutal weather, like that 40°C Ahmedabad afternoon) is pushing matches beyond the expected pace. Also quite a smart adjustment from the IPL this season, dropping the player bans and moving toward demerit points, fines, and in-game penalties instead. Probably a fairer balance, especially since so many slow over-rates happen during tight matches or in extreme conditions rather than deliberate dawdling. That DC vs GT clash had it all — scorching heat, a 200-plus chase, Jos Buttler’s masterclass, and now even a post-match penalty twist. Feels like this season is shaping up for a very tight playoff race if the top four keep swapping places like this.
