IPL 2026: Digvesh Rathi’s catch of Finn Allen creates catch controversy, replays raise doubts

Image
Some brilliant catches have been taken in this IPL 2026 , but somehow the umpiring, at least on a couple of occasions has been questionable. On Thursday, during the KKR vs LSG encounter at the Eden Gardens, a Digvesh Rathi catch of Finn Allen, raised a few suspicions. The incident occurred during the second over of the Kolkata innings — where opener Allen top-edged one to third man, on the bowling of Prince Yadav. Was Finn Allen Not Out? Rathi made some ground, and did well to complete the catch. There wasn’t any dispute raised when the batter was adjudged out, but following replays showed, that Rathi might have just touched the boundary skirting with his boot. While there was no conclusive evidence to show — if it was the boot, or just the shadow, but still, what was more problematic was, technology available wasn’t used to full effect. Prince Yadav has the final say as Finn Allen departs for 9⃣ Has Digvesh Rathi's leg touched the boundary foam? :- JioHotstar #KKRvsLSG...

KKR vs LSG Match Prediction: Who will win today’s IPL 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants?

After opening their account in Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) thanks to a washed out game against Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders will be aiming to get their first win of the season as they take on Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday. Ajinkya Rahane and co. got lucky in the previous contest as they managed to fetch one point after losing by 6 wickets to MI and by 65 runs to SRH. Meanwhile, LSG have won one out of the two matches they have played so far. However, Rishabh Pant and co. need to replicate their performance from the previous game if they fancy a chance of extending their winning run.

Predicted LSG Playing XI vs KKR: Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran under scanner

Image
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) go head-to-head today. LSG arrive in Kolkata with a win behind them, that too, an away win over Hyderabad. However, they still have some questions. The surface at Eden Gardens has been under covers for most of the week, practice has been disrupted, and the conditions could once again test batters more than the bowlers. LSG did well to get past Sunrisers Hyderabad, largely on the back of their powerplay bowling. But with Kolkata Knight Riders desperate for a turnaround and conditions likely to aid seam early on, this is not a game where they can afford loose ends. That’s where LSG’s potent top-order will come into the picture. It is filled with big names but that A-tier performance is still to come. Thankful for KKR’s ordinary bowling show so far, LSG will be confident. Pant and Pooran need to set the tone The conversation begins with Rishabh Pant. He did get a fifty in the last game, but the concern is familiar. His ...

BCCI introduces strict field access rule for IPL 2026, limits substitute movement

Image
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been a league where activity never really stops. Players warming up near the boundary, substitutes running in with drinks, messages being passed mid-over. That sight is set to change now. In a fresh directive, the BCCI has informed all franchises that only the 16 players named in the official team sheet will be allowed access to the field during a match. Anyone outside that group will have to remain in the dugout, with no movement permitted between the boundary rope and the advertising boards. This is nothing massive for fans but says that the BCCI is becoming a bit strict. Only 16 players allowed on field, stricter boundary control Under the new rule, benched players who are not part of the designated 16 cannot step onto the field for any reason. That includes carrying drinks, delivering tactical messages or even bringing equipment like bats. There is also a cap on how many players can be present around the boundary line. Only five player...
