The PBKS allrounder, Glenn Maxwell, was penalized with a 25% match fee deduction and received a demerit point for violating the IPL’s code of conduct during their recent game against CSK.
Although the IPL has not disclosed the specific details of his transgression, they did release a statement indicating that Maxwell acknowledged his violation of Level 1 terms outlined in article 2.2 (misuse of equipment during the game) and agreed to the consequences set forth by the match referee.
Batting at No. 6 for PBKS after winning the toss, Maxwell was caught and bowled by R Ashwin on only his second delivery. The team’s strong total of 219 for 6 was thanks to Priyansh Arya’s impressive century (off just 42 balls), as well as contributions from Shashank Singh (52*) and Marco Jansen (34*). This ultimately led to an 18-run victory. During CSK’s chase, Maxwell took the first wicket by stumping Rachin Ravindra, with assistance from wicketkeeper Prabhsimran Singh.
