During a recent IPL match at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, Angkrish Raghuvanshi of Kolkata Knight Riders was dismissed for obstructing the field, making him only the fourth player to receive such a ruling in the league's 19-year history. The incident occurred on the last ball of the fifth over, when Raghuvanshi attempted to run for a single after hitting a delivery from Prince Yadav. After Cameron Green, at the non-striker's end, declined the run, Raghuvanshi turned back but ended up obstructing a throw from the fielder, Mohammed Shami. The on-field umpires referred the decision to the third umpire, Rohan Pandit, who ruled him out based on Clause 37.1.4 of the IPL 2026 Playing Conditions, which states that a batter can be given out for significantly changing direction without probable cause and obstructing a fielder's attempt to effect a run out. Despite the uproar from Raghuvanshi and KKR's coaching staff, the ruling was upheld as both conditions of the law were met. This incident has sparked discussions about the interpretation of intent in such rulings, although intent is not a factor in the decision-making process.
