IPL 2026: Tim David, Hardik Pandya Fined For Code Of Conduct Breach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David and Hardik Pandya have been punished for separate violations of the IPL Code of Conduct after Match 20 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. David, playing for RCB, was fined 25 percent of his match fee and received one demerit point for a Level 1 offence. This was for breaching Article 2.4, which deals with ignoring an umpires instruction during a match. The first incident occurred in the 18th over of RCBs innings when the umpires decided to change the ball. David insisted on inspecting it and refused to return it despite several requests. A similar situation happened again in the final over, where he again did not hand the ball back to the officials, showing repeated non-compliance. The batter admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty given by the match referee. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs12 lakh for having a slow over-rate during the same match. Since it was MIs first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the appropriate penalty was applied. Brilliant bowling, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls.

Known to regard Bhosle as a maternal figure, the former India captain appeared visibly shaken during the final rites, as the nation mourned the loss of one of its most celebrated cultural figures. In recognition of her extraordinary contribution to Indian music, Bhosles mortal remains were draped in the national tricolour, while the Mumbai Police ceremonial band paid tribute with a final salute, marking the end of a remarkable career that spanned over eight decades. In a nod to her personal taste, the legendary singer was dressed in a striking blue saree, a colour she was fond of and often chose for public appearances, adding a poignant, personal touch to the solemn ceremony. The relationship between Tendulkar and Bhosle extended beyond public admiration, rooted in mutual respect and familial warmth. Over the years, Bhosle had often spoken about Tendulkars humility and values, embracing him as one of her own rather than as a sporting superstar. Bhosles final public appearance came earlier this year at the wedding of Tendulkars son, Arjun Tendulkar, on March 5, where she was seen warmly interacting with guests and posing for photographs, an appearance that, in hindsight, marked her last before her brief hospitalisation and passing.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh offered a detailed assessment of Virat Kohlis innings in Royal Challengers Bengalurus 18-run win over Mumbai Indians, opining that the veteran had a slightly slow strike rate while scoring his fifty, but also dubbed his role in the game crucial'. In a high-scoring encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, RCB posted a formidable 240/4, with Kohli contributing a half-century alongside aggressive knocks from Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. While Kohli reached his fifty, Harbhajan noted that the tempo of his innings was measured rather than explosive. Virat Kohlis half-century came at a slightly slower pace. You could see he wasnt fully satisfied, especially with the way Phil Salt was scoring at the other end. But his role was crucial. He ensured there were no early wickets and provided stability at the top. While players like Rajat Patidar and Salt played more aggressively, Kohli anchored the innings and allowed them to play their natural game. Against someone like Jasprit Bumrah, he was very cautious and played him intelligently, but he made sure to capitalise on the other bowlers whenever there was an opportunity, he told JioStar. Kohlis strategy provided RCB with a solid foundation, enabling the middle order to accelerate and reach a total over 240, a target that ultimately secured victory. Harbhajan also pointed out Krunal Pandyas bowling as crucial in limiting Mumbais chase, especially noting his control and strategic thinking during the middle overs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has raised concerns over the Mumbai Indians overall performance in their 18-run defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, pointing out that the problems began well before the run chase, when the bowlers conceded 240 runs. Chasing a daunting 241 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai fell short despite a late surge, finishing at 222/5. However, Pathan stressed that conceding such a massive total had already put the side on the back foot. There are concerns with the batting, no doubt, but the bigger issue starts with conceding 240. Having said that, chasing 241 on a pitch like this, you still expect them to get closer. The problem was the lack of a solid start in the Powerplay and losing wickets early, which put pressure on the middle order. In the middle overs, there were phases where they could have gone big but didnt. Hardik Pandya got runs but never looked in full control, Tilak Varma has now had a few quiet innings, and players like Rickelton need to find more options against spin. Those small gaps made the difference, Pathan told JioStar. Mumbais chase was further disrupted after Rohit Sharma had to retire hurt early, while the middle order struggled to maintain the required tempo consistently. Despite contributions from Hardik Pandya and others, the lack of momentum during key phases proved costly. Pathan also reserved high praise for RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, whose explosive innings played a decisive role in setting up the match.
