According to the statement issued by the IPL, Raghuvanshi violated the Level-1 rule of the code of conduct made for players and team officials.

Fine imposed on Angkrish Raghuvanshi
This incident happened in the 5th over of the match. Raghuvanshi was given out ‘obstructing the field’. He looked very angry after the decision. While returning from the field, he angrily hit the boundary cushion with his bat. After this he also threw the helmet in the dugout in an aggressive manner.

The match referee took his behavior on the field seriously. After investigation, Raghuvanshi admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment. For this reason, the hearing of the case did not proceed further and the fine was immediately imposed.

Angkrish was given out under ‘Obstructing the Field’
In a big tournament like IPL, players are expected to maintain discipline and sportsmanship. Young player Raghuvanshi is considered talented, but this incident made it clear that maintaining patience under pressure is equally important.

This match was important for KKR, but Raghuvanshi’s dismissal proved to be a blow to the team. Now the team would like him to return with better mental strength in the next matches. In the IPL before, many players have been punished for throwing equipment in anger or for bad behaviour. This incident is being seen as a lesson for Raghuvanshi.
