Raghuvanshi was given out for obstructing the field, a decision that sparked debate and led to a fine from the BCCI. Chaudhury highlighted the importance of intent and deliberation in such cases, suggesting that Raghuvanshi’s actions may not have warranted the dismissal based on the rules and the circumstances of the incident. He emphasized the need for real-time perspectives in making such decisions, as replays can sometimes skew the perception of events. Ultimately, Chaudhury believed that Raghuvanshi should have been given the benefit of the doubt and declared not out.
