A no-ball decision by the third umpire turned into a controversy in the IPL game between hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. It irked fans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, resulting in unruly behaviour and reportedly objects being thrown at the players, one of which, says LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes, hit Prerak Mankad on the head.
The incident happened after the third umpire ruled in favour of the LSG bowler Avesh Khan, when the visitors reviewed a no-ball given by the on-field umpire for a waist-high full-toss delivered to Abdul Samad.
