Punjab Kings is in danger of being hauled up for slow over-rate again after Arshdeep Singh delivered a 10-ball long over in its IPL 2026 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Maharaja Yadvindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on April 11.
PBKS has been guilty of exceeding the time limit in both of its two completed matches so far, and skipper Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs. 24 lakh after its match against Chennai Super Kings.
Will Shreyas Iyer be banned if Punjab Kings is found guilty of slow over-rate again?
However, if PBKS is guilty of slow over-rates again, Shreyas will not be facing a ban as he would be according to old regulations.
The IPL has quietly rewritten how it polices over-rate offences.
In previous seasons, captains faced a one-match ban after three slow over-rate violations. That rule is now gone. Instead, the league has moved towards a system that prioritises financial penalties and in-game disadvantages over outright suspensions.
The shift mirrors the International Cricket Council’s approach, with the introduction of demerit points. Every sanction imposed by the match referee adds to a player’s or official’s tally, and those points stay on record for 36 months. The threat, then, is less immediate but more cumulative, a slow burn rather than a sudden hit.
It is not just the captain who pays.
Under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct:
The captain is fined Rs. 24 lakh for a second offence
Every other member of the playing XI, including the Impact Player, is fined Rs. 6 lakh or 25% of their match fee (whichever is lower)
There is also the possibility of in-match fielding restrictions, which can be far more damaging in tight contests than any post-match fine.

Just hours after the Artemis II crew splashed down from their historic journey around the moon, a few willow-wielders took guard at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium as if they were determined to send some cricket balls back into the lunar orbit.
A mammoth 442 runs were plundered by the Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad batters, at the end of which PBKS triumphed by six wickets.
While Abhishek Sharma’s 28-ball 74 (5×4, 8×6) proved the launchpad for SRH’s 219 for six, Priyansh Arya (57, 20b, 5×4, 5×6), Prabhsimran Singh (51, 25b, 4×4, 4×6) and Shreyas Iyer (69 n.o., 33b, 5×4, 5×6) ensured PBKS remained unbeaten in IPL 2026.
SRH left-arm wrist-spinner Shivang Kumar bowled with gumption (three for 33) and priced out the PBKS top-order, but the damage had been done before he was introduced in the seventh over.
While Abhishek’s half-century came off 18 balls, Priyansh’s came two deliveries faster. It took the SRH openers 3.4 overs to breach the 50-run mark; their counterparts did it in 3.3.
The blistering start made the rest of the run chase a formality as skipper Shreyas took the side home with seven deliveries to spare.

Earlier, Arshdeep Singh’s 10-ball second over went for 24 runs, as Abhishek punished anything in his arc with elan.
Part-time bowler Shashank Singh proved to be the unlikely circuit-breaker after the 105-run PowerPlay.
The gentle medium-pacer repaid the faith shown by Shreyas by having Travis Head (38, 23b, 5×4, 1×6) and Abhishek caught in the deep.
After being 120 for no loss in eight overs, the SRH innings decelerated.
Arshdeep’s 14th over saw two contrasting fielding efforts. While Marcus Stoinis dropped Heinrich Klaasen at long-off, Marco Jansen ran to his right and plucked the ball out of thin air with his outstretched right hand to send back Ishan Kishan.
The nonchalance of the whole exercise saw Arshdeep cover his mouth and sit down in disbelief, though the crowd’s reaction was to stand up and applaud.
Later, Klaasen tossed his bat in the air out of frustration after his scratchy innings (39, 33b, 1×4, 1×6). Perhaps he knew that his knock would come back to haunt his team.
The PBKS willow-wielders made sure of it.
