Peculiar Things in KKR v. DC!

In match number 48 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers, peculiar things happened.

RP Singh Removed from Bowling

RP Singh was removed from bowling for bowling two waist height full toss deliveries. He was bowling the 19th over, first ball was a full toss to David Hussey.

Second ball went for a single by Saha. Next ball, again a full toss which Hussey used it well this time to hit a boundary. Two full tosses and RP Singh was removed from the attack by the umpire. Thankfully, it was at the end of the innings. But, it almost impacted the match for DC as Harmeet Singh, who bowled the remaining 5 balls went for 20 runs including 2 sixes and a four.

Appeal for Obstructing the Field

In the 10th over of the innings, Ganguly tucked the ball to short fine leg and went for a single. The throw came to non-striker's end and Ganguly came between the stump and the ball. Gilchrist appealed for Obstructing the Field, long disucssions and argument, finally umpire said not out. TV replay showed that he used his left hand to try to stop the ball.

No ball for 3 fielders

In the last over, DC needed 21 runs. McCullum's team had only 3 fielders inside the ring and umpire called no ball. It was a good decision. It went for four starting the over with 5 runs, changing the equation to 16 in 6 balls.

26 scored of Last Over

The last over required 21 runs for victory for DC. Mortaza bowled the last over and he went for 26 runs including a no ball of the first ball. First ball was a four with a no ball, leg bye of the second ball, one run in the third, fourth ball went for a six, fifth ball was a wide, next ball was 2, 5th ball was a four and last ball was a six.
