There have been instances in the IPL where captains have expressed their frustration with on-field or TV umpire decisions from the dugout. However, during the IPL 2024 match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, a remarkable event occurred when DC co-owner Parth Jindal intervened from the stands regarding a controversial decision benefiting his team.
This incident unfolded in the 16th over of RR’s chase when skipper Sanju Samson hit Mukesh Kumar down the ground, nearly clearing the fence. Shai Hope made an impressive catch to his left while maintaining balance inside the boundary. The replay indicated that he was near the boundary cushions but didn’t make contact with them.
Initially, Samson started to walk off but returned after reviewing the replays on the big screen. However, the third umpire determined that Hope remained within the field boundaries and didn’t touch the boundary cushions with his feet.
Despite Samson’s dissatisfaction with the decision, he had no choice but to unwillingly leave the field.
Sanju Samson got upset over umpiring decisions
While Samson voiced his disagreement with the on-field umpire regarding the decision, Jindal began shouting “out hai, out hai” at him. Jindal’s conduct garnered criticism from social media users, who quickly began to condemn him for his behaviour.
As much as I love and enjoy owners being passionate about their teams’ victories, this was absolutely disgraceful from Parth Jindal. And not the first time in IPL. https://t.co/rFJ4hGF6XD#DCvsRR
