Slow Over Rate IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals team has been dealt a double blow in IPL 2024. She has lost 3 out of the first 4 matches. On the other hand, in 2 of these matches, it has suffered losses due to slow over rate. Rishabh Pant had to face a fine of Rs 12 lakh due to slow over rate against CSK. At the same time, his team repeated the same mistake against Kolkata Knight Riders, due to which Pant was fined Rs 24 lakh. Not only this, this time other players of the team have also been fined Rs 6 lakh or 25% of the match fee.
DC trapped in slow over rate trap
According to the rule of slow over rate, every team in IPL has to bowl 20 overs in 90 minutes. These 90 minutes do not include time for strategic time out and DRS. The over rate meter is stopped immediately when a strategic time out and DRS is taken. But Delhi team is failing to bowl 20 overs in 90 minutes in the last 2 matches, due to which action is being taken against them again and again.
Where is Delhi team making mistakes again and again?
The biggest reason for Delhi team not bowling 20 overs in 90 minutes in these two matches is their fast bowling. Actually, Pant has used fast bowlers the most in both these matches. Let us tell you that a spin bowler completes the over sooner than a fast bowler. A fast bowler will need a long run up to bowl, which also takes more time. Spinners, on the other hand, bowl early overs in short run-ups.
Understand Delhi’s mistake from these figures
Rishabh Pant used 7 bowlers in the match played against Kolkata Knight Riders. Of these, 6 were fast bowlers and they bowled 19 out of 20 overs in the match. This means that Delhi bowled only 1 spinner in this match and this bowler bowled only 1 over. On the other hand, in the last match also, Delhi had bowled with 7 bowlers. Of these, 6 were fast bowlers and 1 was a spinner. In which 17 overs were bowled by fast bowlers and 3 overs were bowled by spinners.
How did Delhi team escape from slow over rate in the first 2 matches?
Delhi Capitals did not face a slow over rate in their first two matches this season. Delhi used 6 bowlers in the first match of the season, which included 4 fast bowlers and 2 spinners. These two spinners had bowled 8 out of 20 overs. At the same time, in the second match also, Delhi team had bowled by only 5 bowlers. During this period, 12 overs were bowled by fast bowlers and 8 overs were bowled by spinners. That is, in the matches in which Delhi used spinners more, they completed their overs on time.
Rishabh Pant’s tension increased
The captain of the team has to bear the brunt of the slow over rate the most. For committing this mistake for the first time in the season, a fine of Rs 12 lakh is imposed on the captain. At the same time, if the captain commits the same mistake again, a fine of Rs 24 lakh is imposed. Other players in the team are also fined Rs 6 lakh or 25% of the match fee. At the same time, on committing this mistake for the third time, the captain is banned for one match along with Rs 30 lakh, along with this, the rest of the players of the team are fined Rs 12 lakh each or 50% of their match fee. The Delhi team has already made this mistake twice, so if it does it once more, Pant may be banned for 1 match.
