"This was his team's first offense of the season under the IPL Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate, hence Pandya was fined Rs 12 lakh," a BCCI statement said.

In Thursday's match, Mumbai Indians secured the crucial two points courtesy of Ashutosh Sharma's brilliant knock of 61 off 25 balls, which was also his first half-century in the IPL.
