Male lion’s roars are audible up to 8 Km away. In addition, they can also cover short distances at a speed of 80 kph. They are also capable of climbing vertical trunks of trees with ease. 

Lionesses give birth secretly. The lioness often gives birth to her cub alone and far from the rest of the pride. Following the birth, she hides the cub from everyone for almost six weeks.

In a crucial match against CSK in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on May 10, GT captain Shubman Gil was fined Rs 24 lakh for his team’s second-ever slow over-rate. Shubman will be fined 25% of his match fees as penalty for violating a recently introduced, very important code of conduct, according to a statement made by the Board of Cricket Council (BCCI).

In addition to Shubman, the impact player who played against CSK and the other members of the GT Playing XI will also be fined up to a total of Rs 6 lakh, or 25 percent of their individual match fees, whichever is less.

This was GT’s second slow over-rate offense in the 2024 Indian Premier League. The first occurred on March 26 in the rematch against CSK and resulted in Shubman being fined Rs 12 lakh. A franchise captain may be suspended for one match if his team is deemed to have maintained a slow over-rate in three consecutive matches throughout a season, as per the rules established by the Indian Premier League and the BCCI.

Gill was fined INR 24 lakh because it was his team’s second fault of the season pertaining to minimum over rate violations under the IPL’s Code of Conduct. Each member of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, received a fine of INR 6 lakh or 25% of their respective match costs, whichever was lower, according to a statement released by the BCCI and IPL.

Meanwhile, Before restricting CSK to 196 for eight, Gill and BSai Sudharsan made hundreds in GT’s total of 231 for three.

With 10 points from 12 games, the Titans are currently in 8th in the standings, while CSK, despite the loss, is still in 4th place with 12 points from 12 games.

In Gujarat’s 231 for 3, which was close to reaching 260 runs, Gill, who struck 104 off 55 balls, and fellow centurion B Sai Sudharsan (103 off 51 balls) established a 210-run opening partnership.

CSK ultimately received a score of 196, while Gujarat’s NRR decreased to -1.063. With a maximum likelihood of earning 14 points from their remaining 12 games, they have 10 points, which may not be enough to qualify for the playoffs.
