Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was dismissed for 'obstructing the field' during the IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday (April 26).

The incident occurred in the fifth over of KKR’s innings. Raghuvanshi played a shot off Prince Yadav and attempted a quick single, but was sent back by his partner, Cameron Green.

As Raghuvanshi was diving back to the crease, a throw from the fielder at mid-on struck him on his back, prompting appeals from LSG skipper Rishabh Pant and veteran pacer Mohammad Shami.

The third umpire reviewed the footage and deemed that Raghuvanshi had deliberately changed his running line to obstruct the throw from reaching the wicketkeeper.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi was stunned, argued with on-field umpires, and threw his helmet in anger following the decision. KKR head coach Abhishek Nayar was also left fuming and engaged in an animated discussion with a match official near the boundary rope.

Coming to the match, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and elected to bowl first. Riding on Mohsin Khan’s five-wicket haul, the hosts reduced KKR to 73/6 in the 11th over.

At the time of writing, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh were at the crease for KKR, trying to resurrect the innings after a miserable collapse.
