MCC Officially Backs Raghuvanshi Obstructing Ruling — IPL 2026

Following the public controversy over Angkrish Raghuvanshi's 26 April 2026 'obstructing the field' dismissal, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) — guardians of the Laws of Cricket — issued a formal clarification backing the third umpire's call. The MCC stated that Raghuvanshi had wilfully obstructed by taking a route that wasn't the most direct way to the other end, drifting off the strip and into the path of Mohammed Shami's throw.
