The incident took place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, where Raghuvanshi\u2019s on-field dismissal for obstructing the field was followed by a visible display of dissent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAngkrish Raghuvanshi, batter & wicket-keeper, Kolkata Knight Riders, has been fined 20% of his match fee and has also accumulated one Demerit Point for breaching Level 1 of the IPL\u2019s Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials during Match No. 38 against Lucknow Super Giants,\u201d the IPL said in a statement. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRaghuvanshi was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the IPL\u2019s Code of Conduct, which relates to \u2018abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a Match.\u2019 The incident occurred in the 5th over, when, after being given out for \u2018obstructing the field\u2019, Raghuvanshi struck the boundary cushion with his bat in an aggressive manner and subsequently threw his helmet into the dugout in a similar manner. Raghuvanshi admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee\u2019s sanction,\u201d it added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The rare dismissal occurred on the final delivery of the fifth over of KKR\u2019s innings. Batting on nine off seven balls, Raghuvanshi pushed a delivery from pacer Prince Yadav towards mid-on and initially set off for a single. However, he aborted the run midway after a call from teammate Cameron Green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While attempting to return to the crease, Raghuvanshi changed his running line and was struck by a direct throw. Rishabh Pant and the LSG players immediately appealed, alleging obstruction of the field, prompting a review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Third umpire Rohan Pandit reviewed the footage and ruled that the batter had deliberately altered his path, thereby interfering with the throw, resulting in his dismissal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
