IPL’s penal code for over-rate violations in 2025
In the 2025 IPL season, the regulations governing slow over-rates have been significantly revised from the previous year.
“Effective this season, a new Code of Conduct will be implemented from the TATA IPL 2025 season, introducing a demerit points system and suspension points that will remain valid for 36 months,” the BCCI said in an official release.
In the 2024 season, a captain faced a mandatory one-match ban if his team committed slow over-rate offenses in three straight games.
According to the updated rules, skippers will face monetary penalties and accumulate demerit points for slow over-rates, with a fine of 25% of their match fee. These points remain active for 36 months, and repeated violations could trigger steeper punishments.
