Hardik Pandya has been fined 10 per cent of his match fee and accumulated one Demerit Point for breaching Article 2.2 of IPL’s Code of Conduct. The MI skipper has had a tough time in IPL 2026 with injuries and form as MI endured a disappointing season.

The incident unfolded on the fourth ball of the 10th over in the second innings when Hardik Pandya, while walking back to begin his run-up, angrily smashed the bails off the stumps with force. His act prompted the match officials to take disciplinary action against the Mumbai Indians captain.
