Kartik Tyagi taken off after second beamer
The game turned in the final over. Lucknow needed 12 off five when Kartik Tyagi lost control. He delivered a high full toss to Himmat Singh, called a no-ball. The next ball was worse. Another full toss, again above waist height, again a no-ball. The umpires stepped in immediately.
There was a brief discussion in the middle. The tracker confirmed the height. One delivery reached 1.08 metres, above the legal waist limit of 1.01 metres. That was enough. Tyagi had bowled two beamers in the same innings. He was not allowed to continue.
The over had to be completed by Anukul Roy. The equation, already tight, now shifted with extra balls and free hits. KKR sensed an opening. LSG saw a chance slip under pressure.
Why Tyagi could not continue and the final-over drama
The law is clear. Any bowler who delivers two full tosses above waist height in an innings is barred from bowling further. It is a safety call, not a tactical one. Once the second beamer was confirmed, the decision was automatic.
The moment changed the rhythm of the over. Free hits followed. Fielders were pushed back. Batters had license. Tyagi, who started the over, was out of it without finishing his job.
From there, it became a test of control for KKR and composure for LSG. One over, multiple stoppages, and a sudden change of bowler turned a routine finish into a scramble. The margin was small. The pressure was not.
