Sunday’s double-header fixture between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which was played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, was a memorable one in many ways. While the game went in KKR’s way, who registered a Super Over win, they were also amidst news for a bizarre scene, which quickly became the talk of the town.
KKR batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi bore the brunt of a controversial decision from the third umpire when he was called out for Obstructing the field. Following the decision, while the batter walked off the field, he was seen venting his anger on the equipment and has thus been fined 20% of his match fee for the IPL Code of Conduct breach. Raghuvanshi was seen hammering the bat into the boundary rope on his way out before slamming his helmet on the ground as well.
