Today, Yusuf Pathan became the first batsman to be given out for obstructing the field in Twenty20 cricket while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match no. 65 of Pepsi IPL 2013 against Pune Warriors India (PWI).
He also became the sixth cricketer in the overall history of the game. So far, Test cricket has seen only one batsman, Briton Len Hutton, getting out in that fashion while four players so far have been ruled out in the ODIs for obstructing the field.
The match was in tense situation when the incident happened. After managing to negotiate a yorker from Wayne Parnell, Yusuf Pathan attempted a single. As he ran, the bowler tried to get close to the ball but Pathan pushed the ball with his foot, causing obstruction in the field.
The matter was referred to third umpire and he was declared out. His dismissal in the 18th over became the turning point of the game as Kolkata Knight Riders did not have the batsmen to score required 23 runs from 13 balls after that and they lost the match by 7 runs and went out of IPL 2013 Playoffs contention.
