IPL 2026: MCC defends ‘obstructing the field’ call on Angkrish Raghuvanshi

 The Marylebone Cricket Club has defended the controversial ‘obstructing the field’ dismissal of KKR’s Angkrish Raghuvanshi. They clarified that changing direction to run on the pitch, as Raghuvanshi did, constitutes a wilful act under the laws. The MCC emphasised that the batter’s intent and actions, not whether they would have been out anyway, are key to such decisions. The Marylebone Cricket Club has defended the controversial ‘obstructing the field’ dismissal of KKR’s Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
