Sunrisers Hyderabad are likely to approach. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) On an incident with LSG player Avesh Khan during the IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Supergiants on Sunday, Cricbuzz reported.The issue relates to the last ball of the game on April 5, when the LSG captain Rishabh Pant Jaydev Anadak hits a four. As the ball headed for the boundary, Avesh, who was near the dugout, hit it back into the ground with the bat. Claims were made that the ball had not passed the rope at that point, and some argued that SRH should have been awarded penalty runs under the dead ball (law 20.1) and unfair play (law 41) rules.However, there was no fielder near the ball, and it was not seen as an attempt to block the boundary. As a result, the rules of unfair play were not applied. An umpire aware of the situation, as quoted by Cricbuzz, said there was no case to change the boundary decision.
Lucknow needed just one run at that stage as the scores were tied, and they completed the chase with one ball to spare and five wickets to spare.The Cricbuzz report states that SRH is not satisfied with the incident and may formally write to the BCCI. The franchise is also unhappy with some of the decisions in its first matches.In their opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), SRH were concerned about dismissing Henrik Klaasen, who was caught near the boundary by Phil Salt off Romario Shepherd.They are also unhappy with the dismissal of Abhishek Sharma in their second match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. Varun Chakraborty took a diving catch off Blessing Mazarabani in the ninth over but there was no conclusive evidence that the catch was taken cleanly.While none of these results or decisions will be changed, the Cricbuzz report states that SRH are expected to take up the matter with the BCCI.
