Delhi Capitals took to social media to post a picture of Shai Hope's controversial catch to dismiss Sanju Samson during their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday. "Shai Pakde Hain," DC posted on their Instagram handle along with the picture. The catch has led to a massive controversy with fans and experts split over whether Hope was able to complete the catch without touching the boundary rope. Samson, who was batting on 86, slammed the shot straight back to Hope at long-on but replays showed that there was a possibility that the fielder ended up coming in contact with the boundary rope. The third umpire ruled in DC's favour leading to a heated argument between Samson and the on-field umpires.
Coming to the match, DC kept their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive with a victory over RR.
"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.
