    IPL Can't 'afford Sub-standard Officiating', Says Lalit Modi Over Latest Umpiring Controversy In The League

    By IANS News April 29, 2026 • 00:04 AM View: 231
    BEST GLOBAL UMPIRES FROM AROUND: Former Commissioner and founder Lalit Modi has advised the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council to appoint world-class match officials so as to have consistent decisions during matches.

    Modi's advice to the IPL came following the latest incident of controversial decision-making when Kolkata Knight Riders batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was given out 'obstructing the field' in the match against Lucknow Super Giants recently.

    Raghuvanshi slipped and fell while trying to make ground when sent back by his partner, and the throw hit his body, unintentionally. The LSG players appealed, and the third umpire gave him out for obstructing the field. The decision has generated huge controversy as many people felt that there was no intention on the part of Raghuvanshi to obstruct the ball and had changed the direction in attempting to get into the crease.
