Sanju Samson Out Or Not? Close Call By Umpire Irks Star Batter, Refuses To Leave In RR vs DC IPL 2024 Match

The Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2024 match saw a controversial moment surrounding the dismissal of Sanju Samson. The Rajasthan Royals batter was on 86, and leading RR's 222-run chase in fine fashion vs DC, when he was caught by Shai Hope off Mukesh Kumar. It was a tight catch as Hope was almost on the boundary line. The third umpire gave it a out but Sanju Samson refused to leave. He kept talking with the on-field umpires, even as DC owner Parth Jindal keot shouting 'Out hain'. Reluctantly, as Samson was walking back, the RR dugout suggested that he might review that decision. However, it was not to be,

Earlier, in the match, Rajasthan Royals legbreak spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Tuesday etched his name in the history books by becoming the first Indian to achieve the landmark of 350 wickets in the T20 format. Chahal achieved the feat against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.

In his 301st T20 match, DC skipper Rishabh Pant became his 350th victim in T20 format. The left-handed batter went down and tried to place his shot across the field.

Pant mistimed his shot due to a lack of balance and sent it straight towards deep backward square leg in Trent Boult's safe hands.
