Angkrish Raghuvanshi, a young batter for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has been fined 20% of his match fee and received one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during a match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, India. The incident occurred in the fifth over when Raghuvanshi was given out for obstructing the field, a rare mode of dismissal. After initially attempting a run, he changed his running line and was struck by a direct throw, leading to an appeal from LSG's Rishabh Pant and his teammates. Following a review, the third umpire ruled that Raghuvanshi had deliberately interfered with the throw, sparking debate and animated reactions from KKR's coaching staff. Frustrated by the decision, Raghuvanshi reacted by striking the boundary cushion with his bat and throwing his helmet into the dugout. The IPL confirmed the sanction, stating that Raghuvanshi breached Article 2.2 of the Code of Conduct, which pertains to the abuse of cricket equipment during a match. He accepted the Match Referee's sanction without contesting it.
