SRH vs RR: Explosive batsman Shimron Hetmyer made a mistake, BCCI imposed heavy fine

After losing badly to Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier-2, the Rajasthan Royals' journey has come to an end. The team played brilliantly in the first few matches of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Explosive batsman Shimron Hetmyer has been punished by the BCCI following this loss. Hetmyer was fined by the BCCI for breaking the IPL code of conduct during play. Even though Hetmyer has reportedly acknowledged his error, BCCI has not stated specifically what went wrong. He is being fined 10% of the match fee as a result of this.

Even in the do-or-die match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, explosive batsman Shimron Hetmyer proved to be a flop. Hetmyer could score only 4 runs even after facing 10 balls.
