Shimron Hetmyer slapped with fine for breaching IPL Code of Conduct during Qualifier 2 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rajasthan Royals’ overseas signing Shimron Hetmyer has been fined 10 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during Qualifier 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). 

“Shimron Hetmyer of the Rajasthan Royals has been fined 10 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the Qualifier 2 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on May 24,” the IPL said in a statement.

“Hetmyer committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee’s sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding.”

While the statement doesn’t specify why the West Indian was fined, it could be because of his sudden outburst on the field of play following his dismissal.

Hetmyer lost his calm after he was undone by Abhishek Sharma on the fourth delivery of the 14th over and tried to vent out his frustration by smashing the stumps. Abhishek’s delivery straightened after pitching and it flummoxed Hetmyer who tried to play inside the line of the ball, anticipating that it would come in.
