In a recent IPL 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium, Angkrish Raghuvanshi faced a controversial dismissal for obstructing the field, which led to a fine from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) due to his on-field reaction. The incident occurred after Mohammed Shami's throw hit Raghuvanshi as he attempted to dive back to the crease. The third umpire, Rohan Pandit, ruled him out after reviewing the footage, citing that Raghuvanshi had changed direction significantly while running. According to the IPL 2026 Playing Conditions, a batter can be given out for obstructing a fielder if they change direction without probable cause. However, Anil Chaudhury, a former ICC umpire, argued on social media that the intent behind Raghuvanshi's direction change should have been evaluated. He noted that a mere change in direction does not automatically imply obstruction and emphasized the need to consider the batter's intent and the circumstances leading to the dismissal. Chaudhury suggested that watching the incident in real-time provides a clearer perspective than relying solely on replays, ultimately expressing that Raghuvanshi should have been deemed 'not out.'
