‘Worried’ Delhi Capitals Owner Parth Jindal Reveals Reason For Fiery Reaction To Sanju Samson Dismissal

Delhi Capitals kept their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive with a crucial victory over Rajasthan Royals but the win was not without a bit of controversy. Sanju Samson looked in brilliant form but he was dismissed for 86 and Shai Hope‘s catch to end his innings has sparked a massive debate among both fans and experts. Replays suggested that Hope was quite close to the boundary line when the catch was completed but the third umpire decided to rule in DC’s favour. It result in an argument between the on-field umpires and Samson with DC owner Parth Jindal’s reaction to the incident also going viral.

Following the catch, Jindal meet Samson and in a video posted by Delhi Capitals on their social media accounts, both of them can be seen having a conversation.

Parth Jindal himself reacted to the video and also explained his passionate reaction.

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! https://t.co/6luOM4UnTe

DC rode half-centuries from Abishek Porel and Jake Fraser-McGurk to post a total above 200 and a disciplined bowling attack made sure that RR fell well short of the target.

“I think we had it in our hands, it was like 11-12 runs per over, it was achievable, but these things happen in IPL. Yes, we are doing both the things fine, we will like to stick to what the conditions demand, 220 was 10 runs extra to chase, if we had conceded a couple of less boundaries, we would have made it through.”

“The DC opener (Fraser McGurk) came out and did what he has done through the tournament, we still came back well. We have lost three games but all those games have been really tight, we have been playing remarkably well, we have to do some fine-tuning and make a comeback, we need to keep the momentum going.”

“Yes and No actually, you have to give credit to someone like Stubbs who batted well against Sandeep, who has been bowling very well in the last 10-11 games, he scored 2-3 sixes extra against my best bowlers who are Yuzi Chahal and Sandeep Sharma. We have lost the game, we have to find out where we lost the game and we need to keep moving,” Samson said after the match.
