IPL 2018: 5 times things turned ugly in the tournament

#1 The controversial dismissal of Yusuf Pathan

Yusuf Pathan was given out for obstructing the field

Yusuf Pathan's hard-hitting skills have made him a bankable player for the Kolkata Knight Riders in a quite a few seasons of the IPL. But in 2013, Pathan was dismissed on the uncommon and controversial grounds of 'Obstructing the Field'.

In a nail-biting encounter between the KKR and the Pune Warriors, Pathan was on the verge of stealing the game away from Pune when the incident occurred. While taking a quick single, the explosive batsman ended up kicking the ball away to prevent the bowler from getting to it.

This forced the umpires to declare him out and it cost KKR the match, as PWI won by 7 runs. This also made Pathan the first batsman in the history of T20 Cricket to be dismissed for obstructing the field.
