CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken swift disciplinary action against Shreyas Iyer after the Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain was found guilty of breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during a heated moment in the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The incident, which took place during a tense phase of the game, reportedly involved dissent shown towards an umpiring decision, leading to a Level 1 offence under the IPL’s Code of Conduct. Iyer accepted the sanction, which includes a fine and an official warning, without contesting the charge.
This marks a rare lapse in conduct for the usually composed skipper, and the BCCI’s quick response underscores its zero-tolerance stance on on-field misconduct. The incident has sparked discussion across cricketing circles about the pressure faced by captains during high-stakes matches. With PBKS in the race for playoff contention, this disciplinary issue may cast a shadow over team morale. However, team management has expressed support for Iyer and expects a composed comeback in the next fixtures. The IPL governing body continues to maintain high standards of conduct, reinforcing the importance of discipline and respect in the sport.
