Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan, was controversially dismissed during a recent DC vs RR group match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, which generated a lot of discussion. Amid the drama, Parth Jindal, the co-owner of the Capitals, went viral on social media with his animated response to Samson’s firing. However, the DC owner after the match caught up with the Rajasthan Royals skipper for a heart-to-heart chat, which was shared by the DC on their social media channels.
What happened?
The incident occurred during RR’s chase in the sixteenth over. Sanju Samson heaved Mukesh Kumar down the ground, and Shai Hope took an outstanding catch on the boundary line. Replay footage, however, revealed Hope was near the cushions but didn’t actually touch them. Samson started to leave at first, but he came back after watching the highlights on the large screen.
As Samson argued with the umpires regarding his wicket, DC chairperson Jindal enthusiastically celebrated and was heard yelling “out hai.”. As Parth, overcome with excitement, got up from his seat and angrily declared that Samson was out, TV cameras panned to capture the tense looks.

Sanju’s innings got us worried: Parth Jindal
Jindal also took to X (previously Twitter) to share the video of their camaraderie and claimed his animated reaction after Sanju’s dismissal stemmed from the fact that the RR skipper’s innings got them worried.
“Was lovely interacting with Manoj and Sanju – was incredible to witness his power hitting at the Kotla – he got us all extremely worried and hence the animated reaction when he was out! Had the pleasure of congratulating him as well. Great win by our boys!” he wrote.
