In a dramatic clash during the IPL 2026 at Ekana Stadium, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) faced off against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). KKR's bowler, Kartik Tyagi, found himself in hot water after bowling two waist-high full tosses, known as 'beamers,' which were called no-balls. Despite the potential danger and the usual protocol for such deliveries, the umpires permitted Tyagi to continue bowling, ruling the second delivery was not 'dangerous' enough to warrant his removal. This decision led to significant debate among players and fans alike. The game reached a fever pitch when Mohammed Shami of LSG hit a six off the final ball, tying the scores and pushing the match into a Super Over.
