===One Day Internationals=== In [[One Day International]]s, [[Rameez Raja]] (for Pakistan against England at Karachi in 1987) was given out for hitting the ball away with his bat to avoid being run out going for his century off the last ball of the innings, and [[Mohinder Amarnath]] (for India against Sri Lanka at Ahmedabad in 1989) was given out for kicking the ball away to avoid being run out. Another batsman to be given out this way is [[Inzamam-ul-Haq]] of Pakistan in the first ODI of India vs Pakistan Hutch Cup on 6 February 2006. After Inzamam drove the ball to mid off, Indian [[Suresh Raina]] threw it back to the striker's end, Inzamam stopping it with his bat while standing out of his crease. Umpire [[Simon Taufel]] gave him out adjudging it a wilful obstruction.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Vignesh |first1=Anuj |title='I am not able to comprehend this law' |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/i-am-not-able-to-comprehend-this-law-918187 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=16 June 2024 |date=6 September 2015}}</ref> [[Mohammad Hafeez]] of Pakistan was dismissed obstructing the field on 21 March 2013 in the 4th ODI of the bilateral series match against South Africa.
