Kumar Sangakkara missed out on Kings XI Punjab's clash with Mumbai Indians yesterday after being the first skipper to be banned for the team's slow over rates.
Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly and Delhi Daredevils captain Gautam Gambhir have also been fined USD 10,000 for the first offence.
The Indian premier League has become very stringent this year when it comes to slow over rates and several eyebrows have been raised about the heavy fines. It is not just the captain who bears the brunt for repeated offences. Like in Kings XI's case, the third offence was followed with a fine of USD 20,000 for each player.
