Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Suryakumar Yadav has been reported for a suspect bowling action following the Knight Riders' eight-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in the final of the Champions League Twenty20 in Bangalore. He becomes the fifth bowler to be reported for a suspect action during the tournament after team-mate Sunil Narine, Prenelan Subrayen of Dolphins and Adnan Rasool and Mohammed Hafeez of Lahore Lions.

The charge was laid by on-field umpires Rod Tucker and Kumar Dharmasena along with third umpire S Ravi. After all video evidence of the match was taken into account, the umpires felt that there was a flex action in his elbow beyond the acceptable limit when bowling during the match.

Yadav has been placed on the 'warning list'. Under the CLT20 Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, Yadav may request an official assessment from the BCCI's suspect bowling action committee. 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.
