Sanju Samson's dismissal in the game between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals created controversy on Tuesday (May 7) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite introducing the Smart Review System (SRS), the umpiring has been ordinary this year with decisions on multiple run-outs and wide calls also hogging the limelight before. For the unversed, controversy sparked around Samson's dismissal in the 16th over of the innings with Shai Hope taking a catch close to the boundary cushions.
The matter went upstairs to the third umpire and one of the replays showed Hope's foot likely to be touching the
boundary. But on the other two angles were showing the catch to be clear. However, the third umpire didn't deliberate much and decided to adjudge the batter out which Samson didn't like. He had almost walked away but came back on the field to discuss the decision with the on-field umpire.
This is when the co-owner of the Capitals Parth Jindal was seen gesturing at Samson being out and asking him to walk off the field. The reaction seemed to be over-the-top and for the same reason, the fans are slamming him for his actions. The video of the same has gone viral too where Jindal is asking Samson to walk off.
