Results for: Controversial Dismissal

Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis was controversially adjudged run-out in a crucial match against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. The incident occurred when a misdirected shot from Rajat Patidar deflected off bowler Mitchell Santner’s fingertips and onto the stumps. After extensive video review, third umpire Michael Gough ruled that du Plessis’s bat was in the air when the ball hit the stumps, despite the batsman’s protests. The dismissal shocked du Plessis, his teammates, and former captain Virat Kohli, who expressed disbelief at the decision. RCB, who needed a win to boost their playoff hopes, was dealt a major blow by the loss of their captain. Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, require just a point from their remaining match to secure a spot in the knockouts.

The DC vs RR match saw a controversial dismissal of Sanju Samson, which sparked a significant uproar on social media. The side angle showed Hope’s foot dangerously close to the boundary line, leading many to believe he touched the rope and should not have been ruled out. However, there was no conclusive evidence to prove the same. Kumar Sangakkara, the director of cricket at RR, expressed his disappointment with the dismissal, stating that it was a difficult decision for the third umpire to judge. He emphasized that the team respects the umpire’s decision but believes they should have seen the game home regardless. The dismissal proved to be a turning point in the match, as none of the RR batters could carry the momentum forward, leading to a 30-run defeat.

Delhi Capitals emerged victorious in a nail-biting encounter against Rajasthan Royals, but the game was marred by controversy surrounding Sanju Samson’s dismissal.

The decision left Samson and the Rajasthan camp in disbelief, while Delhi co-owner Parth Jindal expressed his disagreement from the stands. Despite Rovman Powell’s late cameo, Rajasthan fell short by 20 runs, handing Delhi a crucial win in their playoff push.
