LSG vs KKR IPL 2026: Angkrish Raghuvanshi's dismissal was debatable as Kolkata Knight Riders struggled in their IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants. Raghuvanshi entered when the team was in trouble. The young batter tried to stabilize the innings. His time at the crease ended abruptly after being dismissed for obstructing the field.
The incident happened during Prince Yadav's over. Raghuvanshi smashed the ball towards mid-on and ran for a quick single. He was asked to go back midway, then dove to reach the crease as the ball was thrown. The ball hit him on the way. Mohammed Shami appealed, and after review, the third umpire emphasized that Raghuvanshi had changed his line, resulting in his dismissal.
The Kolkata-based franchise did not take the decision well. They were visibly disappointed. Raghuvanshi reacted angrily, hitting his bat on the ground and throwing his helmet when returning to the pavilion.
