Amit Mishra controversial run out

When on-field umpires reviewed the whole incident again, Amit Mishra was found doing that intentionally as a result of which he was given out. Previously, Yusuf Pathan, playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2013 was given out for obstructing the field against Pune Warriors India.
