Shubman Gill has had a smooth start as a skipper, but he has been struggling with the bat since the commencement of the season. But the Indian Premier League has now slammed a penalty over the Gujarat captain after he maintained a slow over rate against the Chennai Super Kings.

GT's Shubman Gill was fined ₹12 lakhs after being found guilty of a code breach

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill was on Wednesday fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during their match against Chennai Super Kings.

"As it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Gill was fined Rs 12 lakhs," a statement from the Indian Premier League said.

The Gill-led side suffered its first defeat in this edition of the tournament, going down to defending champions Chennai Super Kings by 63 runs on Tuesday. Leading an IPL franchise for the first time, Gill's Gujarat Titans won their opening match against the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians by six runs. But they failed to replicate their success against the Chennai Super Kings as they failed to chase the target.

In between, Gaikwad maintained the balance with a 36-ball 46 as Chennai posted a Herculean 206 for 6.
