Ajinkya Rahane, the Rajasthan Royals captain, will have to fork out Rs. 12 lakhs after he was fined for slow overrate in the match against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on Sunday (March 31).

"As it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Rahane was fined Rs 12 lakh," the IPL said in a statement.

RR, after opting to bowl, were able to complete the first innings only at 21:58 local time after starting at 20:00. CSK managed to squeeze in a tight win - by eight runs - after RR fell short in chase of 175.
