The high-octane clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2026 encounter on April 14 was an interesting affair but has since sparked a discussion online. The viral video that was shared shortly after the game states that the LSG was cheated by the umpire by two runs in an encounter involving Rishabh Pant. The game itself was filled with controversy. The LSG required 156 to win but failed to complete the task within the prescribed 20 overs. Two no balls on the penultimate delivery of the last over along with a last-ball six from Mohammed Shami forced the game into a Super Over, and the KKR kept their cool to win the contest. The discussion, however, then shifted to a specific incident that happened in the 12 th over of the LSG's inning where a video clip shared on X claimed that Rishabh Pant hit a six off Kartik Tyagi, but the umpire signaled only four. What Really Happened in the Pant Boundary Incident The said incident occurred on the very first ball of the 12th over and the replays from one of the camera angles suggest that the ball clearly went across the rope without bouncing once. 11.1 over - Kartik Tyagi to Pant… that was CLEARLY a six, but somehow the umpire calls it four 👀Runs get recorded as 4, match goes to a Super Over…Script writers working overtime or what? 🤨 pic.twitter.com/mdv5RJuJJh — Noah (@Noahasthetic) April 27, 2026 This led to reports that the umpire awarded an incorrect number of runs for the boundary shot, but from other angles the picture was clear, the ball bounced a bit before the boundary rope which meant it was a legal four and not a six. 11.1 over - Kartik Tyagi to Pant… that was CLEARLY a six, but somehow the umpire calls it four 👀Runs get recorded as 4, match goes to a Super Over…Script writers working overtime or what? 🤨 pic.twitter.com/mdv5RJuJJh — Noah (@Noahasthetic) April 27, 2026 Also Read | Why Did LSG Send Nicholas Pooran in the Super Over? Big Reveal Inside Pant Calls for Accountability After Loss Speaking about the team after the loss Rishabh Pant stated that all the players have to stand up and take responsibility as the team is clearly not playing up to its potential. Pant stated: "I think we definitely need a break. I think we're gonna refresh. There is always pressure, and it's gonna be a pressure game always, but at the same time, we have to look for answers inside, not outside. And just keep it simple. We need to take accountability, every guy. It can't be about one or two guys. It has to be about the whole unit, and a lot of people will take accountability for that for sure." The reason behind sending Nicholas Pooran for the super over, despite being in the worst form of his life was also explained. He said: "We discussed as a group; the name that came up was Nicholas Pooran. He might not be going through the best form of his life, but at the same time, you will trust your player in a hard situation like this." He added: "No excuses there. Just looking at the positive, there might not be enough positive right now, but I think after the break, there will be a lot of enough positive for sure." Though there were a number of turning points in this match, one of them certainly wasn't the umpiring.
