Kolkata Knight Riders batter Finn Allen<\/a>‘s dismissal led to a massive controversy during the IPL 2026 encounter against Lucknow Super Giants in Kolkata on Thursday. Allen was caught in the deep by Digvesh Rathi but some fans as well as experts were of the opinion that the fielder’s shoes touched the boundary rope after the catch was completed. The incident took place in the second over of the KKR innings when Allen got a thick top-edge off the bowling of Prince Yadav. The ball flew rowards the thirdman boundary but was caught by Rathi extremely close to the ropes. Although it looked quite close, the umpires did not take much time in checking the fielder’s foot and the decision has created quite a furore on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Another Controversial Out given by Umpire in this IPL<\/p>\n – Finn Allen hit the shot.
Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricketer\u00a0Shreevats Goswami<\/a> was convinced that the fielder’s foot touched the advertising board when the catch was taken and said that it clearly looked like a six. “That looked like a six isn’t ? Clearly the foot touched the advertising board and could see it moving,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
