Rajasthan Royals Apologise Over "Samson Better Than RRR" Tweet. Get Roasted By Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rajasthan Royals put a gigantic score of 214 runs on the board as they took on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The Royals rode on an emphatic partnership from 138-run partnership with Jos Buttler (95) and Sanju Samson (66), only to be denied a win because of a last-ball no-ball from pacer Sandeep Sharma. But, for the most part of the match, RR had their hopes up, and the situation also prompted a debate-stirring tweet from the franchise's social media, suggesting Skipper Sanju Samson is better than RRR (the movie).

The tweet didn't age well, with the Royals also issuing an apology at the end. But, the tweet also gave Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan's opponents for the day, an opportunity to post an epic reply on the Samson-RRR tweet.

Reacting to the Royals' post, the Sunrisers posted the picture of the umpire who had signalled a no-ball after Sandeep Sharma had gotten Abdul Samad caught on what was supposed to be the final delivery of the match.

The chase turned out to be the 'highest-ever' in SRH's history and also the highest at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

In the post-match presentation ceremony, RR skipper Sanju Samson did speak about Sandeep's costly mistake, saying it shouldn't have happened.
