In these collection of pictures, we find out if Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer can be banned by the BCCI in the IPL 2026 season.
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer suffered a painful blow on his hand in IPL 2026 opener vs Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur on Wednesday.
Shreyas Iyer was retained for Rs 26.75 crore by Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings team ahead of IPL 2026 season.
Shreyas Iyer and Punjab Kings have been fined Rs 12 lakh by BCCI for maintaining slow over-rate vs Gujarat Titans on Wednesday.
BCCI has stopped imposing ban on IPL captains for slow over-rate since the IPL 2025 season.
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer will be fined Rs 24 lakh for the second offence in the IPL 2026 season for slow over-rate. If the fielding team fails to start the final over by the 90th minute, an extra fielder must be brought inside the 30-yard circle, limiting to 4 fielders outside.
Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings will likely pay the fine for slow over-rate on behalf of Shreyas Iyer.
Hardik Pandya was last captain to be banned for slow over-rate offence. The Mumbai Indians skipper was banned for opening game of IPL 2025 season. BCCI introduced change of these rules from IPL 2025 season.
