14.05.2023 - 16:25 sports.ndtv.com

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad was halted by crowd troubles following a controversial no-ball decision.

Heinrich Klaasen expressed his displeasure over the umpire's decision and the game had to be stopped for alleged crowd unrest.

Even when there were no triggers, fans started to chant the name of Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli, especially when LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir was around.

Play resumed after some time. Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar was extremely critical of the Hyderabad Cricket Association and said that the infrastructure at the ground should be better for the players' safety. “A little crowd issue, we can say, a little crowd issue – which is never nice,” Simon Doull said on commentary.

Virat Kohli's century overshadowed the maiden ton from Heinrich Klaasen as Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad to take a massive step towards playoff qualification on Thursday.
