The match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals saw controversy erupting during the final chases of the latter’s run-chase, as Sanju Samson’s seemingly contentious decision for a catch created a significant furore on social media platforms. Samson was caught by Shai Hope at the long-off boundary when he was batting brilliantly on 84; the side angle showed Hope’s foot dangerously close to the boundary line, with many believing he touched the rope, too. However, there was no conclusive evidence to prove the same, leading the TV umpire to adjudge the RR skipper out.
Samson had a heated discussion with the on-field umpire, and the RR dugout was visibly displeased with the dismissal, too. Among the many in their dugout who seemed upset from the call was Kumar Sangakkara, the director of cricket at the Royals. He also attended the post-match press conference, where he spoke in detail about the dismissal.
