Baxter, observed that Rajasthan Royals left-arm fastmedium bowler Kamran Khan had a suspect illegal bowling action on certain deliveries.

On completion of the match, footage was obtained and examined by all the three umpires including Mr. Amish Saheba who was the TV Umpire for the match and it was their collective belief that further action was necessary under the MCC's Laws of Cricket section 24.3 that governs the game. The match referee for the game at the Centurion was G. R. Viswanath.
