Navjot Singh Sidhu, a former Indian cricket player, also spoke up to discuss the occasion. The former Indian hitter maintained that Samson was still alive because Hope’s feet were in contact with the boundary rope.
There was controversy surrounding the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals’ most recent IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 match. Tuesday, May 7, saw the 56th encounter of the competition take place at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium between the two teams.
Following DC’s 221-run first innings total, RR appeared to be in for a big one as captain Sanju Samson produced an outstanding performance leading up to the run chase. Samson was trying to get his team to the end of the game after scoring 86 runs in 46 deliveries.
Though many seemed to believe that Hope’s feet touched the rope, indicating a six, Shai Hope made an outstanding catch at the boundary line as Samson played a lofted drive towards long off. But Samson was ultimately declared the winner following talks with the third umpire, which did not sit well with the RR camp.
Sanju Samson’s dismissal was the decision that altered the course of the match. It meets the boundary twice when viewed from a side-on viewpoint; therefore, there may be disagreements. It was fairly obvious. You either don’t use technology at all, or if you do and it makes a mistake, it’s like someone asking you to drink milk when there’s a fly in it,” Sidhu stated to Star Sports.

Sidhu also cited Virat Kohli, the standout batsman for the Royals, being dismissed against KKR after what appeared to be a no-ball delivery. Although he did believe that everyone is to blame and that this is all part of the game, Samson’s dismissal did alter the course of the confrontation.

That’s the reason I continued to say it regarding Kohli (about his dismissal against KKR, which sparked debate over a possible no-ball). Whatever the norm, it is evident to the unaided eye; some of the evidence is so compelling as to be disregarded. It’s comparable like discovering a trout in a milk glass. Nobody is at fault; it wasn’t the umpire’s intention. It’s included in the game. That changed the game, and Sidhu continued.
