Sanju Samson was all over the Delhi Capitals bowlers and was taking the game away from the opposition. However, at the crucial junction of the game, he got out and the game tilted after that. He became part of the controversy as his catch by Shai Hope near the boundary ropes invited a lot of criticism.

Sanju Samson played a flat batted shot towards long on. Shai Hope, who was stationed there, took the catch inches inside the boundary ropes. The third umpire made a quick decision and termed it out. However, RR management wasn't impressed by it.

Parth Jindal, who was in the stands, went berserk and was seen shouting that it was out. His reaction went viral on the internet and it saw him getting a huge amount of criticism, especially with him giving a reaction batter, who was approaching his hundred.

"Was lovely interacting with Manoj and Sanju - was incredible to witness his power hitting at the Kotla - he got us all extremely worried hence the animated reaction when he was out! Had the pleasure of congratulating him as well. Great win by our boys!"
