Tata IPL 2026 OBS Wickets Process: yesterday Kolkata Knight Riders And Lucknow Super Giants played a close match. KKR’s win in yesterday’s match kept alive their hopes of making it to the playoffs. However, a dramatic development took place in yesterday’s match. KKR batsman Angriksh Raghuvanshi is out in dramatic fashion. Let’s find out exactly what this case is.

Young KKR batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi was dismissed for ‘Obstructing the Field’ (OBS) i.e. obstructing the fielding. He became one of the very few batsmen in the history of IPL to be dismissed like this.

What exactly happened?

The incident took place in the 5th over of Kolkata Knight Riders’ innings. Angkrish plays the ball and runs for one run. The fielder catches the ball and throws it quickly towards the non-striker’s end. This time Angkrish changed his direction while completing the run and the thrown ball hit his pads straight.

The Lucknow players immediately appealed. The field umpire leaves the decision to the third umpire. After watching various replays, the third umpire concluded that Angkrish deliberately changed his ‘running line’. Angkrish deliberately changed his ‘running line’ to avoid the ball hitting the stumps. According to the rules, this was considered ‘obstructing the fielding’, so he was dismissed.

What does the ‘OBS’ rule say?

According to Law 37 of Cricket, if a batsman deliberately obstructs the fielding or distracts the fielder by words or actions, he can be given out. Deliberately stepping into the ball while taking a run is considered a breach of the rule.
