This marks MI&#8217;s first offense of the 2026 season under Article 2.22. On the other hand, Tim David faced action for a bizarre incident in the 18th over of the RCB innings. After hitting a six on a free-hit, David intentionally delayed returning the new ball to the umpire and began inspecting it himself despite repeated requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For obstructing the game\u2019s flow, Tim David was fined 25% of his match fee. David admitted to the Level 1 offense and accepted the sanction. While Hardik faces a financial hit for now, a third such over-rate offense in the same season could lead to a one-match suspension for the captain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The historic high-scoring thriller between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium has concluded with stiff penalties for two star players.
