There was a lot of controversy over Sanju’s dismissal in the Delhi vs Rajasthan match.
The 56th match of the ongoing season of IPL 2024 was played yesterday on 7th May between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. Let us tell you that in this match Delhi has won against Rajasthan by 20 runs. But after the dismissal of Rajasthan team captain Sanju Samson in this match, a new controversy has been seen arising in the cricket world.
It so happened that while chasing the 222 runs given by Delhi to win, Sanju Samson was batting amazingly and had scored 86 runs in 46 balls. But his amazing innings came to a sad end due to a controversial decision.
On the fourth ball bowled by Mukesh Kumar in the 16th over of Rajasthan’s innings, Sanju plays a shot towards long on, but this shot is caught by Shay Hope who is fielding near the boundary line, but during this time it looks like this Hope’s foot has touched the boundary rope. The on-field umpire then gets it reviewed by the third umpire, but the third umpire also declares Sanju out.
After this, Sanju Samson and the Rajasthan camp were seen getting very angry. Also, after Sanju’s dismissal, DC team owner Parth Jindal was also signaling Sanju from the dugout to leave the field. After a lot of scuffle on the field, Sanju finally walked back from the field. On the other hand, now Rajasthan Royals team’s head coach and cricket director Kumar Sangakkara has given a big reaction to this controversial out of Sanju Samson.
Kumar Sangakkara reacted to Sanju’s dismissal
Let us tell you that regarding Sanju’s dismissal against Delhi, Kumar Sangakkara was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – As you know it depends on the replays and the angle, but sometimes you feel that the leg has been touched. It was difficult to take the decision by the third umpire.
The match was at a crucial juncture. Same thing happens in cricket. We can look at it from our own perspective, but you know that in the end you have to accept the decision of the third umpire. Whatever difference of opinion we have, we will share it with the umpires and try to find a solution.
