Kolkata Knight Riders vs opponents

26 April 2026

Kolkata Knight Riders opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi was given out "obstructing the field" on 26 April 2026 — the highest-profile use of one of cricket's rarest dismissals in IPL history. Third umpire Rohan Pandit ruled that Raghuvanshi had changed his line while watching the throw, denying the fielding side a clean run-out attempt. The decision turned on the question of intent, and split the cricket world.

MCC Officially Backs Raghuvanshi Obstructing Ruling — IPL 2026

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants

April 2026

Following the public controversy over Angkrish Raghuvanshi's 26 April 2026 'obstructing the field' dismissal, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) — guardians of the Laws of Cricket — issued a formal clarification backing the third umpire's call. The MCC stated that Raghuvanshi had wilfully obstructed by taking a route that wasn't the most direct way to the other end, drifting off the strip and into the path of Mohammed Shami's throw.

Klaasen DRS Drama — Phil Salt's Disputed Boundary Catch in IPL 2026 Opener

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

22 March 2026

The first controversy of IPL 2026 arrived in the tournament's opening match. Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Heinrich Klaasen was given out for 31 off 22 balls when Phil Salt held a low catch at the deep boundary off Romario Shepherd's bowling. Third umpire Rohan Pandit, working with the angles available to him during the review, ruled the catch fair on the basis of inconclusive evidence. Minutes later, broadcasters aired a top-angle replay that had not been provided during the review and which appeared to show the boundary cushion moving as Salt completed the take. Klaasen, by then walking off, was filmed in a heated exchange with the fourth umpire near the boundary rope.
