The unruly behaviour of Sunrisers Hyderabad supporters halted proceedings of their IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants after on-field umpires Akshay Totre, J Madangopal and TV umpire Yeshwant Barde earned the fans' wrath for a poor 'no-ball' DRS call in the penultimate over in Hyderabad on Saturday.

Avesh Khan bowled what looked like a beamer to Abdul Samad and Totre didn't adjudge it a no-ball. SRH called for a DRS but to their horror, Barde also ruled 💝it in favour of the bowling team.
An ang𝕴ry Klaa♊sen spoke to on-field umpires and suddenly one saw LSG head coach Andy Flower and mentor Gautam Gambhir along with others in dug-out, standing inside the boundary rope, pointing at the stands which is exactly behind their team area.
It seemed as if someone from the crowd had thrown something and there 𝄹were collective cha✅nts of "Kohli Kohli" in their bid to rile Gambhir up in reference to his bust up with former India captain Virat Kohli earlier this month.
Once the 🎃match started, Klaasen was immediately holed out at long-on, having lost his concentration due to the unwanted stoppage.
He didn't hold back his ange🔜r while speaking to broadcasters during the mid-inꩵnings snap interview.
"Disappointed with the crowd toও be honest, that's not what you want. That also broke the momentum, not great umpiring either," Klaasen said.
Klaꦯasen, who top-scored with 47, also felt nature of track changed quickly.
"The wicket changed quickly in the middle. There was some spin and decent amount of bounce, there were a few rippers (by Krunal - Markram and Phillips' wicket✅.) That broke the momentum.
"It was difficult to play the harder ꦑlength balls. Need to bowl length and slower ones into the wicket, can't be too full. It's not a bad wicket, but it's a bit slow. Can use the natural variations. I reckon if the spinners can bowl quickly into the wicket, the natural variations can take over," he added.
