Suryakumar Yadav reported for suspected illegal bowling action
"Kolkata Knight Riders player Suryakumar Yadav has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during tonight's Oppo Champions League Twenty20 final against Chennai Super Kings at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and has been placed on the warning list," read the Champions League T20 website.
"After all video evidence of the match was taken into account, on-field umpires Rod Tucker and Kumar Dharmasena along with third umpire S. Ravi felt that there was a flex action in his elbow beyond the acceptable limit when bowling during the match," it said.
"Under the CLT20 Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, Mr. Yadav may request an Official Assessment from the BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee," it said.
If a player receives a report while on the warning list, the player shall be suspended from bowling in any matches organised by the BCCI until such date as he is cleared.
A player suspended from bowling may continue to be selected to play in matches, however he will not be entitled to bowl.
Chennai Super Kings beat KKR to lift the Champions Legue T20 title last night.
