Nitish Rana Fined for Audible Obscenity — CSK vs DC, IPL 2026

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals

11 April 2026

Delhi Capitals batter Nitish Rana was fined 25 per cent of his match fee and given one demerit point for an audible obscenity directed at fourth umpire Anish Sahasrabudhe during Delhi's defeat to Chennai Super Kings on 11 April 2026. The flashpoint came when Tristan Stubbs's request for a glove change — driven by Chennai's heavy humidity — was denied at the boundary rope. Rana, batting at the other end and watching the exchange, walked over to argue and crossed into Code of Conduct territory. The match referee judged the breach a Level 1 offence and Rana accepted the sanction.
