April 9, 2025 New Chandigarh, India In a major disciplinary action, Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been fined 25% of his match fee for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during the high-voltage match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday. The incident occurred during the 22nd league game of IPL 2025, held at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.
Dressing Room Outburst After Poor Performance
According to the IPL’s official media release, Maxwell breached Article 2.2 of the Code of Conduct, which pertains to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match”. The offense, categorized as Level 1, also included use of abusive language.
Maxwell reportedly lashed out in the dressing room, though the exact timing and nature of the incident have not been disclosed. Sources suggest the outburst occurred following his dismissal for just one run, a critical moment when PBKS needed his experience and firepower in the middle order.

-
25% deduction from his match fee
-
One demerit point added to his disciplinary record
