Captain Rajasthan Royals Sanju Samson was fined Rs 24 Lakh after his team maintained a slow rate during his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash with Gujarat Titans 9.
This marked the second offense of the RR season. As a result, Samson was not only slapped with a fine, but the rest of the XI playing was also fined RS 6 lakh each or 25% of their individual fees per match – which was less.

This season, Ahmedabad was only Samson’s second game as a full -time Captain, who played the first three games only as a dough, while Riyan Parag led the side. In particular, Parag was also fined for a similar crime at the beginning of this season after the victory of RR over Chennai Super Kings.
This fine falls under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code and adds only to the suffering of RR at the unsatisfactory beginning of the season. With only 2 wins and 3 losses in their first five matches, Royals are currently sitting on No. 7 on the point table.
