Shimron Hetmyer smashed wickets in Anger During RR vs. SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 2, and the BCCI disciplined him.

Per the IPL Code of Conduct, Shimron Hetmyer was found guilty of a Level 1 infraction. Upon his admission of guilt, he was penalized ten percent of his match fees.

In the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match at Chennai’s Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, Sunrisers Hyderabad left-arm spinner Abhishek Sharma dismissed Rajasthan Royals batsman Shimron Hetmyer for smashing the wickets. The BCCI then fined Hetmyer. In line with the IPL Code of Conduct, Hetmyer was found guilty of a Level 1 offense. Upon his admission of guilt, he was penalized ten percent of his match fees.

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

The sanction was imposed by former India pacer and match referee of the second Qualifier, Javagal Srinath. “Hetmyer committed a Level 1 offense under Article 2.2 of the IPL Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offense 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,” BCCI said.

As always, BCCI did not delve into details of the incident that led to the breach, but it is probably due to Hetmyer’s dissent after getting dismissed. It transpired in the 14th over of RR’s chase. SRH left-arm spinners Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed were stifling the RR batters. Hetmyer was the inaugural edition’s champion’s last hope.

Abhishek changed his length in the fourth ball of the over and bowled it flat. The ball fizzed off the pitch. Hetmyer was unable to judge the pace of the ball. The West Indies batter was way too late in bringing his bat down. The ball cannoned into his off stump to end his agonizing stay in the middle.

Hetmyer was distraught. He tried to hit the wickets with his bat before taking the long walk back to the pavilion after scoring 4 off 10 balls.

That wicket sealed RR’s fate. Despite Dhruv Jurel’s gallant effort, they fell short by 36 runs as SRH advanced to the final.
