In a surprising turn of events during the IPL 2026 match on Sunday, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was dismissed for 'obstructing the field' against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The incident occurred on the last ball of the fifth over when Raghuvanshi attempted to run after nudging a delivery from Prince Yadav. After being sent back by Cameron Green, the throw hit Raghuvanshi's legs, prompting an appeal from LSG players, including skipper Rishabh Pant. The third umpire ruled that Raghuvanshi intentionally altered his running path, preventing the ball from reaching the wicketkeeper. This decision left the KKR camp stunned, and Raghuvanshi expressed his frustration by throwing his helmet and engaging in a heated discussion with the umpires. Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and chose to bowl first, while KKR remained unchanged after their recent victory over Rajasthan Royals.
