Table-toppers Mumbai Indians were on Wednesday fined for maintaining a slow over-rate for the second time in the Indian Premier League with skipper Sachin Tendulkar losing $40,000 after the win against the Kings XI Punjab in Mumbai.

Each of the other members of the team was slapped with a $10,000 fine.

"The IPL today advised that Mumbai Indians have been fined for maintaining a slow over rate during last night's IPL match against Kings XI Punjab in Mumbai," the IPL said in a statement.

At the end of the match, the Mumbai Indians were assessed to be one over behind the required rate after allowances were taken into consideration.

"Since it was their second offense of the season, under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offenses, captain Sachin Tendulkar was fined $40,000 and each player in the team $10,000," the IPL statement read.

Indian Premiere League 2010 (IPL) - Cricket Fans Take Note


The Style of IPL
To begin off, the IPL is now firmly established on both the Indian and the world cricket scenario. The entire procedure including auctions, glamour, filmstars, hype and media fervor adds to the excitement and charm and it feels like watching cricket in a bullfight arena.
The Indian Premiere League is a decidedly different experience than the kind of cricket we used to see in our childhood, with the lone batsman playing ball after ball, refusing to give ground or leave the wicket. I remember how frustrated the entire crowd used to get at those snail pacers who were only after creating personal records at the cost of team victory.
One-Day Cricket Saves the Day but Still Insufficient for Today's Pace
It of-course started with Australian millionaire Kerry Packer's concept of bringing cricket to the arena of professional sports from the arena of amateurs. However, Kerry Packer's initial proposals met with contempt from those opposed to change, people who did not ignore reality found a middle-way and One Day Cricket was born. It became an instant hit. The frenzy and popularity made it clear to sports organizers that sports lovers and cricket fans loved it. One-Day Cricket, being of limited duration brought all the energy and capital together in a short and brilliant spurt. It opened the new age of cricket. The T20 came as a logical step to take cricket into the fully professional squad.
IPL Is the Best Bet to Save Indian Cricket
I think the Indian Premiere League is an excellent concept
 because professional management, big industry investment
 and involvement, and high fees of players negate the 
possibilities of match fixing. Simple cricket fans like 
us can watch honest games, and relax knowing market
 dynamics is creating the best possible fun combination 
on the cricket fields.
The Actual Official Website and Online Store of IPL
However, it remains that the IPL having gained fame will
 become the target of those trying to make a quick buck.
 I have seen several websites on the Internet, which seem 
to be entirely dedicated to the Indian Premiere League,
 and also trying to sell dubious merchandise for cricket fans
 at unreasonable prices.
If we feel that IPL is good for Indian Cricket, and the 
Indian Premiere League 2010 needs our support to pull 
through the blames of discrimination cast upon it, it is also 
our duty to avoid spurious businesses that try to cash in on 
the popularity of IPL.
IPL Merchandise - Infibeam.com is an exciting new online
 destination and community that focuses on selling latest
 Mobiles, Books, Cameras, Apparels, Jewellery, Beauty 
Products and Best Books Online in India at guaranteed
 lowest price.
