Sunrisers Hyderabad to write to BCCI over controversial calls in IPL 2026, Avesh Khan incident latest flashpoint: Report

Once Pant hit the boundary off the penultimate ball of the match to seal the game for Lucknow, Avesh, who was standing near the LSG dugout, struck the ball back into the ground with his bat. According to Cricbuzz, it is being claimed that the ball had not touched the boundary cushion. Social media has also added fuel to the fire, with netizens saying Sunrisers should have been awarded five penalty runs and that Laws 20.1 (Dead Ball) and 41 (Unfair Play) should be applied.

According to Cricbuzz, Sunrisers might also write to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the flashpoint and also a couple of other instances.

Concerns have been raised over Varun Chakravarthy's catch off Blessing Muzarabani at deep square leg. Abhishek had also expressed dissent over his dismissal and was penalised for breaching IPL's Code of Conduct.

Neither of the dismissals nor the results will be overtuned, but SRH are set to knock on the doors of the BCCI if they haven't already.

The Sunrisers have so far won one match and lost two in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. The team lost to RCB and LSG but beat KKR. The team will next face the Punjab Kings on Saturday, April 11.
