Raghuvanshi himself was seen arguing with the umpire on the field for a long time. After all, what is this matter, which is being discussed a lot.
What happened on the field, why the ruckus?
This is the case of the last ball of the fifth over of Kolkata’s innings. Angkrish Raghuvanshi played the ball thrown by Prince Yadav towards mid-on. Raghuvanshi ran to score runs and almost reached half the pitch, but Cameron Green sent him back. When Raghuvanshi was running back, the fielder threw the ball and it hit Raghuvanshi’s leg. Then Rishabh Pant raised his hand and appealed.

The ground umpire indicated for review and left the decision in the hands of the third umpire. The third umpire said that Raghuvanshi had changed direction while running back, so Raghuvanshi was given out to prevent the ball from hitting the stumps. The KKR camp was shocked by this decision. Actually, according to the rules, if the umpire feels that a player has deliberately tried to come between the ball and the stumps, then the umpire can declare that batsman out. When Angkrish Raghuvanshi returned, he first hit the bat on the ground and then took off his helmet and threw it.
