Angkrish Raghuvanshi, a batter and wicket-keeper for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has been fined 20% of his match fee and received one demerit point for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during a match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 26, 2026. The IPL's statement revealed that Raghuvanshi violated Article 2.2, which pertains to the abuse of cricket equipment during a match. The incident occurred in the fifth over when he was given out for 'obstructing the field' after a mix-up while running between the wickets. Frustrated by the decision, he struck the boundary cushion with his bat and threw his helmet into the dugout. This dismissal is particularly notable as it marks only the fourth occurrence of a player being ruled out for obstructing the field in IPL history. The match ended in a tie, but KKR secured victory in the Super Over, earning them two points.
