LSG Vs RR, IPL 2026: Rajasthan Pacer Nandre Burger Fined For Breaching Code Of Conduct

Rajasthan Royals pacer Nandre Burger has been fined 10 percent of his match fees for breaching the IPL code of conduct during his team's match against Lucknow Super Giants here.

The 30-year-old was also handed a demerit point, an IPL statement said on Thursday.

"Nandre Burger, Bowler, Rajasthan Royals (RR) has been fined 10 percent of his match fees and has also accumulated One Demerit Point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during his team's match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)," the statement added.

Burger was found to have breached the Article 2.5 of the IPL's code of conduct "pertaining to using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player in the Match."

The left-arm pacer admitted to the offence.

For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding.

Rajasthan Royals secured a clinical 40-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium.

After being put in to bat, RR struggled early at 32/3, but Ravindra Jadeja’s composed unbeaten 43 off 29 balls and a late flourish from impact sub Shubham Dubey propelled them to a competitive 159/6.

LSG’s chase was disastrous from the start, collapsing to 11/3 within three overs.

Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, and Aiden Markram all departed for ducks. Despite Mitchell Marsh’s fighting 55, Jofra Archer (3/20) and Nandre Burger (2/27) proved too clinical. LSG were eventually bundled out for 119, marking their fourth consecutive defeat.

Up next, Rajasthan will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, April 25 in what is going to be the franchise's first home game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
